The appellant\u2019s case on appeal, unless service was accepted, could only be served by an officer. Forte v. Boone, 114 N. C., 176; Allen v. Strickland, 100 N. C., 225; State v. Johnson, 109 N. C., 852; State v. Price, 110 N. C., 599. The failure of service in due time, if it is made to appear, could not be cured even by the Judge\u2019s settling tbe case (Forte v. Boone, supra) and when the case is not settled by the Judge, it must appear affirmatively that the case or counter-case was legally served and in due time to avail the party relying upon it. M'f'g Co. v. Simmons, 97 N. C., 89; Peebles v. Braswell, 107 N. C., 68; Howell v. Jones, 109 N. C., 102. Tbe attempted service by the clerk was a nullity (Cummings v. Hoffman, 113 N. C., 267) as was also the service by a proper officer after the time limited hy law. Rosenthal v. Roberson, 114 N. C., 594; Cummings v. Hoffman, supra. Had there been counter-affidavits that in fact there had been service by a proper officer in due time, the case might be continued that, on motion below, the Judge should find and certify the facts, as in Walker v. Scott, 102 N. C., 487. Such is not the case here, but simply an attempted service within the proper time-by one not authorized to make it, and then service by a proper officer but after the time limited for service had expired. Both these acts being null and of no effect, and there being nothing to excuse the laches, as in Watkins v. Railroad 116, N. C., 961, there is nothing before us except the record proper. On inspection we find no error therein and must affirm the judgment. Lyman v. Ramseur, 113 N. C., 503.\nAffirmed.",

The failure of service of case on appeal within the time limited 'cannot be cured by the judge\u2019s settling the case.\nCivil aotioN, tried before Poke, P, and a jury, at August Term, 1895, of Moore Superior Court, to recover damages for killing plaintiff\u2019s cowr through negligence of defendant. There was verdict for the plaintiff and defendant appealed from the judgment thereon.\nIt appears from the record that the defendant\u2019s case on appeal was filed wdth the Clerk of the Superior Court and handed by him to counsel for plaintiff within the time prescribed and was served by the Sheriff after the time for service had expired. In this Court plaintiff\u2019s counsel moved that the statement of case on appeal be not considered and that the judgment be affirmed.\nMessrs. Black da Adams and W. H.
