78 N.C. 8 | N.C. | 1878
The rule for perfecting appeals under C. C. P. was laid down in plain terms in Wade v. New Bern,
In the present case it was agreed, as we understand the affidavits, that the appellant would serve his statements at Yadkin Court. If this is not true, the appellant is without any ground to stand on, as no other time or place was designated, and the rule requiring it to be made, and copy furnished within five days from the entry of appeal, disposes of the question against him. It is admitted that no statement of the case was furnished the appellee at Yadkin Court, although an attorney of each party was present until the court adjourned on Thursday of the first week; also, that no copy was furnished within the two weeks assigned to said court, although opposing counsel resided in the same town and were there after the court had adjourned.
It is alleged that the appellant's counsel, who was relied upon to make out the statement of the case and serve it, went to Greensboro on professional business and expected to attend to the matter during the second week of Yadkin Court, but on hearing of the adjournment of court, did not go. Admitting all this to be true, it furnishes no sufficient excuse to *7 the appellant. The court did not adjourn by accident, but as usual, only a day or two sooner than at former terms. The case was not made up according to the agreement, nor according to law. The motion for a certiorari is not allowed.
PER CURIAM. Motion denied.
