Merle et al., appellees.\nAppeal from, Carroll.\nWhere an appeal is prayed for in the name of several defendants, and it is granted upon condition that the defendants enter into bond, it is not a compliance for one of the defendants to execute the bond, without the others.\nWhere an appeal is granted upon the party\u2019s entering into bond within thirty days, the time is to be computed from the day on which the order was made ; and not from the last day of the term of the Court.\nWhere an appeal is dismissed, a writ of error may issue, upon the transcript of the record filed in the appeal case, and a supersedeas may be granted thereon, if the record presents a proper case for such a writ.\nA. T. Bledsoe moved to dismiss the appeal in this case, because the appeal bond was not entered into within the time limited by the Court, nor was the same executed by the defendants, but by only one of them. The Court below granted the appeal, upon the defendants\u2019 entering into bond, &c., within thirty days. The bond was executed by one of the defendants, Carson, only, and was not filed until after the expiration of thirty days from the date of the order, but within thirty days from the adjournment of the Court.\nThompson Campbell, for the appellant,\ncited R. L. 496; Gale\u2019s Stat. 537, and contended that the bond was filed in time."
