    Knoxville,
    September Term, 1851.
    PEACTICE IN SUPEEME COUET. Writ of error issues, how.
    The writ of error issues, of course, as a matter of right out of the supreme court clerk’s office [at any time within one year after the judgment or decree, Code, sec. 4916], and the supreme court will not entertain a motion for it. [On the subject of writ of error, see Code, sec. 4911-4932, and notes.]
   Maynard moved the court for a writ of error. An appeal had been granted before the last term of this court, and the record had been sent up by some person who had neglected to file it, and it was not too' late to procure it in order to- file it for a writ of error in the customary way, before the statute would bar.

The court (Green, J.,) refused to entertain the motion, on the ground that the writ of error was a writ issuing of course, and that the court could take no action upon it, any more than upon any other prucess issuing of right out of the clerk’s office.

Motion denied.
