1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Mr. Chief Justice Paxson,
The appellant, having taken his appeal from the judgment of the justice of the peace within the time required by law, neglected to file the transcript in the court of common pleas until after an intervening return day had passed. The only reason given for this neglect was the forgetfulness of his attorney. Upon the application of the appellant the court below granted a rule to show cause why the appeal should not be filed nunc *319pro tunc, and several months after the return day had passed made the rule absolute. This is the error complained of.
