        "text": "Per Curiam.\nThis cause was tried at January term of Craven, beginning 5 January, 1914. Prom tbe verdict and judgment the defendant appealed. Under Rule 5 of this Court, 164 N. C., 540, the transcript of the record should have been docketed by Tuesday of the week preceding the call of the Fifth District, to which it belonged, that is, on or before 24 February, 1914, and if not docketed at that time the appellee had a right to docket the clerk\u2019s certificate and dismiss under Rule 17 at any time thereafter during the term (164 N. C., 544), provided the motion was made before the appellant docketed his appeal. The appellee filed his motion to that effect on Monday, 2 March. The appellant docketed his record on 3 March, and on call of the docket on Tuesday, 3 March, the cause was accordingly dismissed.\nThis is a motion to reinstate said appeal, upon notice given under Rule 18. The right of appeal, as we have often held, is not an absolute right, but must be exercised in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed.\nThis subject is fully discussed and settled in every aspect by the opinion and decision in Vivian v. Mitchell, 144 N. C., 472, in which the Court cites, among other cases, Harrison v. Hoff, 102 N. C., 25; Jones v. Asheville, 114 N. C., 620; Pain v. Cureton, ib., 606; Mortgage Co. v. Long, 116 N. C., 17; Barber v. Justice, 138 N. C., 20; Craddock v. Barnes, 140 N. C., 427; Cozart v. Assurance Co., 142 N. C., 523; and the Court added: \u201cTbe decisions to tbis effect have been uniform and so often repeated that of late years tbe Court bas usually contented itself by following tbe precedents, without opinion, by a per curiam order.\u201d Tbis course bas usually been followed since, tbougb that case was cited and approved in opinions in Laney v. Mackey, 144 N. C., 631, and in Truelove v. Norris, 152 N. C., 757; Hewitt v. Beck, ib., 759. In tbe latter case, as in tbis, tbe appellant sought to excuse himself because there bad been delay in \u201csettling tbe case,\u201d without any fault on bis part. But tbe Court held, in accordance with our uniform decisions, that in such case it is tbe duty of tbe appellant to docket tbe transcript of tbe record proper, in tbe proper time, to get a foothold in tbis Court, and only when that is done can be ask for a certiorari to procure tbe transmission of tbe \u201ccase on appeal,\u201d when it bas not been sent up by reason of tbe delay of tbe judge in settling tbe case on appeal, or for other cause not attributable to tbe laches of the appellant. In Burrell v. Hughes, 120 N. C., 277, it is said, citing many cases, \u201cThere are some matters which should be deemed settled, and tbis is one of them.\u201d Tbis case lias been often cited since. See Anno. Ed.\nTbe motion to reinstate is denied.\nMotion denied.",
