4 Wash. 615 | Wash. | 1892
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The notice of appeal in this cause was served upon counsel for the respondent on February 26th,
While we expect counsel to regard the rules of court in all cases, we would not dismiss an appeal for unavoidable delay in filing briefs. But, in this instance, no satisfactory reason is given for the delay, nor indeed is any reason at all given, except that two members of the firm of counsel representing the appellant were so continuously engaged in other matters that it was impossible to devote any of their time to this particular case. Why the third member of the firm did not, at least, undertake the preparation of the brief we are not fully informed. Upon the showing made by respondent, the application for an extension of time to file briefs must be denied.
The appeal is dismissed at the cost of appellant.
