¶12PER CURIAM.

¶13The transcript shows that judgment was rendered on May 10, 1913, a motion for a new trial was overruled and refused July 17, 1913, and thereafter a writ of error was allowed on Novemher 8, 1913, as follows:

“On consideration whereof the court does allow and grant the writ of error, upon the defendant giving bond and security in the sum of $7,000; and upon the giving of said bond in said sum when it is approved by the court, the judgment herein rendered in favor of the plaintiff against, the defendant shall be suspended, and supersedeas will be granted until the determination of said writ of error by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.”

¶14The defendant in error on due notice moves to dissolve the supersedeas so granted, on the ground that the writ of error was not sued out and lodged in the court below within 60 days from the date of the judgment, and we are satisfied that the same should be granted upon the authority of Kitchen v. Randolph, 93 U. S. 86, 92, 23 L. Ed. 810; Sage v. Central R. R. Co., 93 U. S. 417, 23 L. Ed. 933; Title Guaranty Co. v. United States, 222 U. S. 401, 32 Sup. Ct. 168, 56 L. Ed. 248.

¶15It is therefore ordered and adjudged that the supersedeas granted in this case on November 8, 1913, be and the same is hereby vacated and annulled. Mandate to that effect may issue.
