Adams et al. v. Munson et al.
    
    Errors must be assigned within the time prescribed by the rule, or the cause will be dismissed on motion.
    A general assignment of errors, not pointing out any particular error, is not a sufficient assignment.
    Under a rule of court, cases brought up for delay only, will be dismissed on suggestion of counsel in writing.
    MOTION to dismiss this and other causes for want of assignment of errors, and on suggestion that the same were brought up for delay.
    Yerger, for the motion in this case.
    Hays, contra.
    
   Mr. Justice Trotter

delivered the opinion of the court.

This cause, and the eighteen others which precede it in the above enumeration, were submitted to the court as delay cases on the suggestion in writing of the counsel for the defendants in error. We have carefully inspected the record in each of the several cases embraced in this list, and are of the opinion that in each of them the suggestion is true. In several of the cases there has been no assignment of errors, in some only a general assignment, not pointing out any cause of objection to the 'judgment below.

We do not esteem such an assignment to be a compliance with the rule of this court on that subject. But if the same had been regular, we are satisfied, upon a full examination of the proceedings in the court below, that there is no error in the judgment.

The judgment of the court below in each of the cases above set down, must, therefore, be affirmed with costs and damages.
