Decided 1886-02-15

Ashe, J.

¶1This has been so repeatedly decided by this Court to be an essential requisite in every undertaking on appeal to this Court, that it is hardly necessary to cite any authority. We therefore refer only to the cases of Turner v. Quinn, 92 N. C., 501, and Anthony v. Carter, 91 N. C., 229.

¶2The appeal must be dismissed, and this certified to the Superior Court of Macon county, that the case may be proceeded with according to this opinion and the law.

¶3Dismissed.
