Whereas, The respondent filed a motion in this court on November 16, instant, for dismissal of this appeal on the ground that the transcript of the record had not been filed in this court although the time fixed therefor had expired and no extension of time had been asked for, which motion was served on the adverse party on the same day and a hearing thereon was set for November 23, instant;

Whereas, The appellant filed the transcript of the record, consisting of nine typewritten pages, on the same 23rd day of the present month, and a few moments before the hearing filed a motion, accompanied by an affidavit alleging as reasons for his not having filed the transcript in due time that the stenographer of the lower court had to give preference to other matters which prevented him from preparing* the record at the proper time, and also the fact that a judgment in another case had been erroneously copied into the transcript, for which reasons he asked this court to admit the transcript of the record and to overrule the motion for dismissal of the appeal;
