The Acme Mortgage & Investment Co., Appellee, v. Bachelor, Jr., et al., Appellants.
    (No. 1924
    Decided February 20, 1947.)
    
      
      Mr. Harold E. Smock, for appellee.
    
      Mr. J eróme T. Miller, for appellants.
   By the Court.

This cause is submitted on motion of the plaintiff, appellee herein, for an order dismissing the appeal of defendants, appellants herein, on the ground that (1) the appellants have failed to file briefs or assignmeiTts of error as provided by Rule VII; (2) because of an insufficient or inadequate appeal bond; and (3) for want of prosecution.

In the notice of appeal it is stated that ‘ ‘ said appeal is on questions of law and fact.” Rule VII controls appeals on questions of law, and has no application to appeals on questions of law and fact.

In the entry fixing the appeal bond there is a recital that the appellants had deposited one hundred and nineteen ($119) dollars with the clerk of courts and the court thereupon fixed the appeal bond at one hundred ($100) dollars. The record shows that in addition to the one hundred and nineteen ($119) dollars, which had already been deposited, the appellants complied with the order of the court and deposited an additional one hundred ($100) dollars. If it is contended that this bond is insufficient, appellee should file a motion under Section 12223-16, General Code. On the state of the record the court cannot order a dismissal of the appeal.

The notice of appeal having been filed on December 13, 1946, and Rule VII not being applicable, it does not appear that there has been a want of prosecution which would justify a dismissal.

Accordingly, the motion to dismiss the appeal will be overruled.

Motion overruled.
