31 S.E. 721 | N.C. | 1898
The appellant's case on appeal was duly served, and in five days thereafter the appellee's exceptions were handed to the appellant's counsel, who accepted service thereof, as appears on the papers sent up. The appellant, however, thinking this insufficient, did not apply to the judge to settle the case, as he should have done, but instead sent up his "case on appeal" as if it had not been excepted to, and insists that it is the true case on appeal, and the appellee moves to dismiss on the ground that there is no legal case on appeal.
The case of McDaniel v. Scurlock,
The latter is the condition here, and the case will be remanded that the judge may settle the "case on appeal," though it is optional with the Court in such cases whether it shall not affirm the judgment in the absence of a "case settled" on appeal (there being no errors on the face of the record proper). Mitchell v. Tedder,
Remanded.
