SIMPSON, Justice.

The appeal is not properly before this court for consideration in consequence of a total failure to comply with Supreme Court Rules 1 and 10, Code 1940, Title 7, Appendix.

Rule 1, requiring assignments to be written upon the transcript concisely pointing out the errors relied pn for a reversal, is in the nature of a rule of pleading and, in the appellate court, performs the same office in all material respects as the initial pleading in a court of original jurisdiction.
