1Opinion of the Court
Seevers, J., lábil1actions: oraer‘ — It is insisted by tbe appellee that this cause cannot be tried de novo in this court, and must, therefore, be affirmed. The March Term, 1877, was the appearance term. The issues were then settled, and it became known there was for trial an issue of fact. No motion was made, at that time or any other, for a trial on written evidence; nor did the court order at that time that the cause should be so tried.
The trial was at the following September Term, and no order was made at that time for a trial on written evidence, except as will be presently stated.
