1Opinion of the CourtJustice Brown
There is no assignment of errors sent up with the record in this case, as required by Bev. Stat. § 997, and no “ specification of the errors relied upon,” as required by Bule 21 of this court. This rule requires that the specification “ shall set out separately and particularly each' error assigned and intended to be urged,” and there is no such “plain error not assigned or specified,” as calls upon the court to exercise its option to review the questions involved. It would seem that unless the statute and rule are to be entirely disregarded, this writ of error must be
Dismissed.
