““In Tinker v. Ringo et al., 11 S.W. 605 , 606, 11 Ky.Law Rep. 120, the appellant’s procedure was questioned, and- we said of it: ‘While no specific mode is prescribed' in the Civil Code by which the right to prosecute such appeal may be determined, we think it was not irregular for him to file a statement, to which, as a matter of course, it was competent, for the propounders to file an answer.’ “The procedure was questioned in Pryor v. Mizner, 79 Ky. 232 , and we said: ‘Filing a transcript of the proceedings in the county court with the clerk of the circuit court, and having summons issued, is all that is. required. No supersedeas or bond for costs, is required either in the circuit court or this court, and the executor having brought all the parties in interest before the circuit court, and presented a transcript of the record from the county court, has done everything necessary to enable him to be heard in that court. The statute in regard to-wills and appeals in such cases fails to designate any particular mode or form for-prosecuting the appeal, and therefore the-mode adopted by or practice sanctioned for many years will not now be disregarded.. Appeals are taken in such cases to the circuit court as appeals are taken to this court, by filing a transcript of the proceedings and. having summons issued.’ ””
