        "text": "Per Curiam:\nThe decree below might properly be affirmed for want of compliance with rule 15 of this court upon the part of counsel for appellant. The only statement of the case is that it is an appeal from a writ of assistance. The ground of appeal is stated to be, that appellant \u201cis now prosecuting a writ of error in this cause in general No. 902, now pending in this .court at the present term, and that the disclosures in the record in that case' show conclusively that no writ of assistance should have been granted before the final determination of that case. The briefest reference to the record in that case ought to avail, and the law is plain,\u201d\u2014citing three decisions of this court, which have no application to the case so far as it appears from what is stated,\u2014and this is the whole of the brief and argument presented. The abstract, of about thirty-eight pages, refers to a record of more than seventy pages, and we are invited to refer to that record to support appellant\u2019s assignment of error, without even reference to pages, much less to parts of the record. In fact, as shown by the brief and argument of appellee, the question is whether a writ of error in the case referred to (902) would prevent the issuance of the order of assistance here appealed from, there being no supersedeas issued upon the writ of error. It is not claimed that the writ, which was to put appellee in possession of certain premises, would not have been proper but for the writ of error. Section 77 of chapter 110 of the Revised Statutes provides that no writ of error shall operate as a supersedeas unless this court, or the Appellate Court in cases brought to that court, or some judge thereof in vacation, after inspecting a copy of the record, shall order the same to be made a supersedeas, or until a bond is given, etc. Our rules are framed so as to give effect to this statute. The writ of error without a supersedeas does not, of itself, stay the proceeding, and to argue otherwise would be to contend that a party might have the same relief upon a writ of error without supersedeas and without bond as he would be entitled to upon an appeal.\nThe judgment of the superior court will be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
