Opinion
September 1808.
A certiorari will lie, after dismissal of appeal for want of reasons filed in the court below. [See McMurry v. Milan, 2 Sw. 179, where this case is cited.]
Judgment in the County Court, upon which an appeal was prayed to this court, which at a former term was dismissed, no reasons for the appeal having been filed by the attorney in the County Court. After this a certiorari was obtained to bring up the proceedings of the court below. A rule had been made to show cause why the certiorari should not be dismissed. Upon showing cause, DARDIS and SCOTT objected, — 1st. That a certiorari had been allowed before a procedendo was awarded, which was irregular. 2d. The failure in filing reasons was the parties' own neglect, or that of his attorney, which was the same thing. Sed non allocatur, and the rule was discharged.
