    The transcript was filed on the 20th day of November, 1893, and the abstract upon the same day. The court convened'on the 10th day of January, 1894, and no brief had then been filed and on that day the motion to dismiss was made and granted on the succeeding day.

For failure of the appellant to file his brief of points and authorities as required in this rule, the court may, in its discretion, affirm the judgment appealed from, dismiss the appeal, or may examine the record and render such judgment as it may deem just; and for failure of respondent to file his briefs as required by this rule, he shall not be heard on the merits of the cause.
