McMillan v. Nye, decided at this term, ante, 11.\nIt is not improper to say here, that it is a matter of astonishment to the court, that intelligent gentlemen engaged in the practice of the law persist in sending appeals to this court without perfecting them as required by the plain, peremptory requirements of the statute. If the court were disposed to grant relief against such negligence, it has no authority to do so. Motion allowed.\nAppeal dismissed.",
