PRINTING AND SERVICE OF AB-
STRACTS AND BRIEFS.

Rule 4. Within twenty days after the transcript is filed in a civil case, the appellant shall serve upon an attorney for each respondent a printed copy of so much of the record prepared, as hereinafter provided, as may be necessary to a full understanding of the questions presented for decision, and file with the clerk of this court proof of such service, together with sixteen copies of said abstract, and no case shall be docketed for hearing until this and other rules are complied with, except by order of the court. In case of cross-appeals, the party first giving notice of appeal shall, under this rule, be considered the appellant. In criminal cases a printed abstract may be served and filed, or not, as the appellant shall elect.

Rule 5. If the respondent shall deem the appellant's abstract imperfect or unfair, he may, within ten days after receiving a copy thereof, deliver to the appellant's counsel one, and to the clerk of this court, with proof of service upon appellant, sixteen printed copies of such further or additional abstract as he shall deem necessary to a full understanding of the questions involved in the appeal.

NOTICE AND UNDERTAKING ON APPEAL, in words and figures as follows: (Here insert notice and undertaking on appeal in full.) Upon which was the following return or proof of service: (Copy return in full.) Then add the certificate of the clerk to the transcript as required by statute. Should the clerk doubt what the paper is, let him call it "Paper in words and figures following." When a paper is filed in term time, add the day of the term to the day of the month.1 Rule 3. Transcripts and testimony must be paged by numbering the leaves consecutively to the end on the bottom of the leaf near the left-hand corner, and the name of the paper or witness must be written thereon on the left-hand margin near the bottom. The testimony must be preceded by an index in which shall be noted the first page of the testimony of each witness. No transcript shall be filed by the clerk unless prepared in com-ed, where the appeal presents only questions pliance with the foregoing rules, except by special order of the court or one of the justices thereof. No transcript or abstract in a civil case will be filed by the clerk until the appellant shall have paid to him the sum of $15.00, or no brief or other paper will be filed for respondent until he shall have paid to the clerk the sum of $10.00. (B. and C. Comp., 887.)

Rule 6. Within twenty days after the service of the abstract as required by rule 4, and within the same period after the transcript is filed in criminal cases, if no abstract is serv

of law upon the rulings of the court below, the appellant shall serve upon the attorney for each of the respondents one copy of his brief, and deliver to the clerk of this court, with proof of service upon respondent, sixteen copies thereof, and within twenty days thereafter the respondent shall serve upon the attorney for the appellant one copy and deliver to the clerk sixteen copies of his brief, with like proof of service, and the appellant shall have ten days thereafter in which to serve upon respondent one copy and deliver to the clerk sixteen copies of a reply brief with proof of service, if he so desires. But where the appeal is from a decree and to be tried anew upon the transcript and evidence accompanying it, the plaintiff shall open and close, and as to printed briefs shall observe the rules requiring the service and filing of such brief by appellant. A failure by appellant to comply with this rule within the time required, or such modification thereof as may be made, shall be deemed and considered as cause for affirmance or dismissal of the appeal, and a failure by the respondent as a waiver of the right to be heard.

1 Note. The foregoing form is intended only as a suggestion, and is to be varied according to the circumstances of each particular case. The actual facts of the case will dictate what is to be done; but in all cases, civil as well as criminal, the transcript is to be prepared substantially in conformity with the above form, giving the proper order and date of filing papers, and incorporating them at the proper date as to the proceedings of the court, omitting from the transcript all unnecessary papers, such as undertakings on appeal, costs bills when not involved therein, as well as papers and orders which have ceased to perform any office in the case, such as demurrers and original pleadings when superseded by amended ones or waived by pleading over, unless such original pleadings are necessary to a proper understanding of the questions to be presented on appeal. The title of the court and cause, unless otherwise directed, may be omitted from all papers except the first paper in the cause, but the word "title" shall be used, the character of the paper, whether complaint, summons, answer, etc., shall be designated. The file marks and indorsements point (pica) type, leaded with two-point or may aso be omitted, unless otherwise directed. three-point leads. The size of the page must I
