RICHARD MORRIS v. JAMES SMITH ET AL.

majority Green, J.:

The rule allowing the chancellor to give time for the giving of bonds for the prosecution of appeal was established before I came on the bench. If it had not been so, I would never have consented to the establishment of the rule, and I am unwilling to extend it beyond the adjudicated cases. The present order is not within the rule, and the appeal must be dismissed.

Appeal dismissed.
