The record and files of the case show, that the appellant, Hendricks, has not served notice of his appeal on his co-defendant,• Foster, and filed the proof of such service with the clerk of this court, in conformity with the requirements of section 551 of the code, 2R. S., 1876, p. 239. Upon the ground of the appellant’s failure to comply with the express provisions of the statute, in respect to .such notice, the appellee’s relator has moved the court to dismiss this appeal.
