The appellant admits that the bond is insufficient as a bond on appeal, but requests that it be allowed to file a good and sufficient bond under the provisions of chapter 44 of the Session Laws of the regular session of the First State Legislature, 1912; this chapter being an act to amend paragraph 1508 of the Revised Statutes of 1901, as follows: “1508. (See. 299). No appeal shall be dismissed or the judgment affirmed by reason of any defect or informality of the appeal bond, if the appellant shall, within such time and upon such terms as the court may direct, file a legal and sufficient appeal bond. When the bond, or affidavit in lieu thereof, provided in the preceding sections, has been filed and the previous requirements of this title have been complied with, the appeal or writ of error, as the case may be shall be held to be perfected.” The requirements of this chapter are very plain. As the condition precedent to give the relief offered by this amendment there must, of course, be a bond on appeal.- The bond recited does not purport to be such. If a bond on appeal be given within the time allowed by law and there be any defect or informality in such bond, the appellant may, upon such terms as the court may direct, cure the defect or informality by filing a legal and sufficient appeal bond. In this case there is *521no bond on appeal at all, and, of course, this court acquired no jurisdiction upon which to base an order giving the relief mentioned in the statute. ’

We think the motion to dismiss appeal is well taken. Appeal dismissed.
