Supreme Court of Alabama
Decided January 15, 1856PublishedCited by 2 opinions
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Eayette. Tried before the Hon. E. W. Pettus. ' Motion to dismiss the appeal, on account of the insufficiency of the appeal bond.
1Opinion of the CourtRice, C. J.
The judgment of the court below was in favor of the appellee, and against the appellant and Jemes M. Cochran. The appeal bond misdescribes this judgment, and describes a judgment against the appellant only. If that bond does not support the appeal, there is nothing else to sustain it. That bond does not support the appeal, because the misdescription of the judgment is fatal. — Satterwhite v. The State, at the present term, and the authorities therein cited.’
The appeal is dismissed, at the costs of the appellant.
