   PEE CUEIAM.

On the 11th day of. September, 1908, judgment was rendered against the defendants, and they were allowed by the court 30 days in which to prepare and serve a case-made. The ease-made was not served until the 29th day of October, 1908, which was after the time granted by the court had expired. It is true that on said 29th day of October, 1908, the court did .grant a further extension of time; but as the time granted in the original order of the court for serving a ease-made had expired, the court was without power to grant additional time. That which has already expired cannot be extended. Dnder our statute applications for and grants of extension of time in which to prepare and serve a case-made must be presented and granted before the time originally granted has expired. An order of extension, made after the expiration of the time originally granted, is void. The case-made not having been served in the time originally granted, and,the subsequent order extending the time being void, we are not at liberty to consider what purports to be the case-made in this record. There' is no certificate of the clerk to the transcript of the record." There is' nothing before this court which it is authorized to consider.- The appeal is therefore dismissed for -want of legal case-made and a certified' transcript of the record. '

Appeal dismissed.
