1Opinion of the Court
Moojre, Jurge :
Benjamin McCoy, one of the defendants, has taken this appeal under the law as it existed before the act approved December 21, 1872, and therefore has reached this Court upon undertaking and notice, and not upon appeal granted on petition as now required.
Printed with the record is what purports to be a petition for appeal and supersedeas, assigning errors, which has been treated by the appellees in the argument, as the brief of the appellant; and although not strictly within the requisition of the rules, the court, for the purposes of this case, will ex gratia so view it.
