The justice made out the transcript of appeal and handed it to the Clerk of said Court the same day. The Clerk\u2019s fee for docketing was not paid or tendered, and he was not requested to docket the appeal, and it was not docketed or filed regularly until 12 September, 1904. A regular term of the Court was held 18 July, 1904, and, although it was for the trial of criminal cases, the appeal should have been docketed by that term.\nThe point is expressly decided and tire reasons given in Blair v. Coakly, 136 N. C., 407.\nAffirmed.",

When it appears that the justice of the peace was paid for transcript of appeal, made it out the day of the trial and handed it to the Clerk of the Superior Court, but the appellant neither tendered nor paid the Clerk his fees nor requested that it be docketed, a motion to dismiss will be granted upon failure to docket the appeal.\nAtpeal from a justice of the peace, heard by Moore, J., at March Term, 1907, of the Superior Court of StaNly County, upon motion to dismiss the appeal.\nFrom the judgment of the Superior Court dismissing the appeal the plaintiff appealed.\nJ.
