Judge Simpson

¶1delivered the opinion of the court:

¶2The only question that arises on this motion is, whether the appellee must be summoned, either actually or constructively, to appear and answer the *563appeal, where it has been granted by the court rendering the judgment or order, or whether it is only necessary that he shall be so summoned where the appeal has been granted by the clerk of this court.

¶3Under the provisions of the 878th section of the Civil Code, the appellee must be regarded as being in court, on the appeal, where it has been granted by the court rendering the judgment or order, whether the appellant has executed a supersedeas bond before the clerk of such court or not, and therefore it is not required that the appellee shall be summoned in such cases to appear and answer the appeal.

¶4If, however, where the appeal is granted by the court rendering the judgment, the appellant does not file in the clerk’s office of this court, an authenticated copy of the record, on or before the first day of the second term of this court, after the appeal was granted, it cannot be subsequently prosecuted, but must be dismissed. An appeal, however, can then be granted by the clerk of this court, but on such appeal, the appellee must be spmmoned to appear.

¶5In this case the appeal was granted by the court below, and the appellant filed a copy of the record with the clerk of this court, before the first day of its second term, after the appeal was granted. Ninety days had elapsed after the appeal was granted, before the record was filed, but. this court had the power to extend the time allowed for filing it until the first day of the second term after the appeal was granted, and as the appellee must be regarded as being in court until that time arrives, and the cause was beard without objection, the power of the court to extend the time to file the record, must be deemed to have been exercised in favor of the appellant.

¶6Wherefore, the motion to set aside the judgment is overruled.
