Assignment Of Errors

In practice. The statement of the case of the plaintiff in error on a writ of error setting forth the errors complained of. It corresponds with the declaration in an ordinary action. 2 Tidd, Prac. 1168; 3 Steph. Comm. 644. In those etates in which the remedy by appeal is extended to actions at law and criminal prosecutions, the assignment of errors is a schedule of the errors complained of, filed by appellant, and usually prefixed to his brief.

The statement of the case of the plaintiff in error, on a writ of error, setting forth the errors complained of. It corresponds with the declaration in an ordinary action; 2 Tidd, Pr. 1168; 3 Steph. Com. (11th ed.) 623. All the errors of which the plaintiff complains should be set forth and assigned in distinct terms, so that the defendant may plead to them; Newnan v. Pryor, 18 Ala. 186; Reynolds v. Reynolds, 15 Conn. 83; Adams v. Munson, 3 How. (Miss.) 77. It is an essential part of the pleadings and as such should be so complete in itself as to show the basis of the judgment or decree of the appellate court, since after the cause is disposed of and the record remitted to the court below, the precipe, assignment of errors and pleas thereto are all that usually remain of record; In re Cessna's Estate, 192 Pa. 14, 43 Atl. 376. The ruling of a trial court must be specified in the assignment, in order to question it on appeal; Line v. State, 131 Ind. 468, 30 N. E. 703; as where no errors are assigned in the record, no question is presented for review; 146 Pa. 61, 23 Atl. 321; Patrick Red Sandstone Co. v. Skoman, 1 Colo. App. 323, 29 Pac. 21; Hawkins v. McDougal, 126 Ind. 544, 25 N. E. 708. Errors not assigned will not usually be considered by an appellate court. But the United States circuit Court of Appeals will notice plain error though not assigned; City of Memphis v. R. Co., 183 Fed. 529, 106 C. C. A. 75. Alleged errors of law will not be considered unless contained in the assignment of errors, where on the whole the facts justify the judgment; Behn, M. & Co. v. Campbell, 205 U. S. 403, 27 Sup. Ct. 502, 51 L. Ed. 857. The term is commonly used in connection with appeals in cases in equity. Under the federal appellate practice, it is necessary to file an assignment of error with the petition for an appeal.
