The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““Furthermore, many of the authorities cited herein state the end of the term marked the end of the jurisdiction of the trial court for any purpose. At the time these authorities were prepared, such was the law; but it has been changed by statutes which we shall incorporate in this opinion. “As the law now stands, the ending of the term does not affect the right of the parties to file a motion for new trial or a petition to rehear, and the end of the term does not affect the control which the Court has over its decrees for a period of thirty days after the entry thereof. ’ ’”

An appeal is ‘perfected’ when appellant files his appeal bond pursuant to the decree of the court granting the appeal and nothing is left for appellant to do to transfer the jurisdiction of the cause from the Chancery Court to the Court of Appeals.””
