C. 601, 166 S. E. 734.\nThe notation in the appeal entries that plaintiff was \u201callowed to appeal in forma pauperis\u201d is unavailing in the absence of adequate supporting affidavit. Riggan v. Harrison, 203 N. C. 191, 165 S. E. 358. There is no authority for granting an appeal in forma pauperis without the jurisdictional affidavit as denominated in the statute. Lupton v. Hawkins, 210 N. C. 658, 188 S. E. 110.\nGiving bond on appeal, or revealing adequate leave to appeal without bond, is a jurisdictional requirement, and unless met by compliance, the appeal is not in this Court, and we can take no cognizance of the case except to dismiss it from our docket.
