Ackley v. Sager

30 Mich. 264, 1874 Mich. LEXIS 178

Opinion

The Court

held that the rule referred to regulated the filing in the circuit court, and has ho relation to the practice in the supreme court; that it was decided in Van Blarcom v. The Ætna Ins. Co., 6 Mich., 299, that the time limited for bringing writs of error was so far analogous that a failure to return the settled case into the supreme court within the like time, which is two years, ought to justify a dismissal; and that a dismissal ought not to be ordered on the ground of delay merely, where that is for a less period than that given by the statute for bringing writs of error.

Motion denied.
