RULES OF PROCEEDING, IN THE COURT OF APPEALS.
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, January 12, 1793.
ORDERED, That the following Rules be established to direct the forms and modes of proceeding in all suits where in Original jurisdiction is given to this Court.
1. THE first process which shall be used in all cases, in which this Court has Original jurisdiction, shall be a Subpoena.
2. There shall be two general return days to each Term, to wit, the twelfth day, and the twenty-fourth day of each Term, and the Complainant may have the Subpoena returnable to either of those return days at his option; but for good cause shewn to the Court process in any particular suit may be made returnable to any other day of the Term.
3. If the Sheriff shall return that he has not executed the first Subpoena, or if no return is made, another Subpoena shall be issued, returnable to the next general return day.
4. If upon a Subpoena's being returned executed, the Defendant shall not appear on the return day, the Bill shall be taken for confessed, and a Decree made accordingly, which Decree shall be final, unless on good cause shewn before the end of the next Term after the return day; except in cases where the Complainant shall think a discovery on the oath of the Defendant necessary to enable him to establish his claim, in which cases such process of contempt shall be issued, as is directed by law to be used in Chancery proceedings; except also in cases where Feme covert or infants are Defendants, in which cases they shall have twelve months after their respective disabilities are removed to shew cause against such Decree.
5. If it shall appear by satisfactory proof to the Court, that the Defendants, or any of them, are not inhabitants of this State, there shall be an order to advertise, and a day fixed for the appearance of the Defendant, which advertisement, shall state the nature of the suit, and shall be published three times in the Kentucky Gazette; and if the Defendants shall fail to enter his appearance on the day appointed for that purpose, the Bill shall be taken as confessed, as to him, and a Decree made accordingly; which Decree shall be final, unless on good cause shewn before the end of the next Term, after the day appointed for his appearance.
6. Where any Defendant shall be an infant, under the age of twenty-one years, a guardian shall be appointed to defend the suit for him, either on the motion of such infant, or of the Complainant.
7. Before the issuing of any Subpoena the Complainant shall file his Bill, stating the material parts of his complaint, and specially calling on the Defendant to answer on oath, such parts of the complaint as he may judge necessary to establish his claim: But the formal parts of a Bill in Chancery shall not be inserted in such Bill. The Clerk shall send to the Sheriff, with the Subpoena, as many copies of the said Bill as there are Defendants, one of which shall be by him delivered to each Defendant, which the Subpoena shall direct him to do at the time of serving the same; and where the Subpoena shall not be served on all or any of the Defendants the copy or copies as to such Defendant or Defendants shall be returned by the Sheriff with
the Subpoena to the Clerk's office; for which copies the Clerk shall be paid as for other copies.
8. On the return day, the Defendant shall put in his Answer, stating briefly what parts of the Bill he confesses, and what he denies, and shall be at liberty to introduce in his Answer, any new matter that he may judge proper for his defence, and to call on the Complainant, if he judges it necessary so to do, to answer the same on oath, which the Complainant shall do on or before the next general return day. But upon good cause shewn to the Court by any person who is called upon to answer, further time may be given him for that purpose; and upon like cause shewn the Complainant or Defendant shall be allowed to amend his Bill or Answer as the case may be.
9. The Complainant may insert in his bill as many Defendants as he pleases, though they claim under different titles; but if any of the Defendants disclaim he shall pay them their costs except for special reasons appearing, the Court should otherwise Decree; and he shall also pay to each Defendant any costs that he may incur, in consequence of any contest on a claim in which he is not interested.
10. If any Defendant thinks himself not bound to answer the Bill or any interrogatory contained therein, or to make any discovery for which he is called upon by the Bill, he shall refer the matter to the Court in a summary way, so as not to delay the putting in of his Answer.
11. Where it is necessary for the Defendant to bring a new party before the Court, he shall state it in his Answer and insert interrogatories for him to answer, and thereupon a Subpoena and copy shall be sent out, and other proceedings be had, as in cases of other Defendants.
12. Bills to perpetuate testimony may be brought against any number of persons, though they may claim under different rights, subject to the rules abovementioned as to costs; and the Complainant on the coming in of the Answer, may have a commission and proceed to take the depositions of his witnesses, on giving the Defendant reasonable notice of the time and place of doing the same.
13. Any person having a claim to land within this State, may file a Bill to perpetuate his testimony, concerning such claim, and on his making affidavit that he verily believes his claim depends on the testimony of living witnesses, and that he does not know who sets up any claim to the said land, or any part thereof; or, that he does not know of a any other person or persons who have such claims, except those who are made Defendants to the said suit, may as to those he does not know, have an order to advertise the time and place of taking the Depositions of such Witnesses; which being inserted in the Kentucky Gazette six times, he may proceed to take the Depositions of such Witnesses; which Depositions, so taken, may thereafter be used against any person setting up a claim to any part of the said land. Provided, That there be at least four Months between the first advertisement, and the time of taking such Depositions; Provided also, That the present name of the County in which the land lies, and the present names of the Water courses whereon it is situated, and an exact Copy of the Certificate, or entry, or both, as the case may be, under which the same is claimed, be inserted in the advertisement; and, Provided also, That there be returned with
the Depositions, the Gazettes in which such advertisements were inserted, or a copy of such advertisement with an affidavit from the Printer, that it had been published as is above directed.
14. In all cases of Bills to perpetuate testimony, if the Defendants or any of them do not appear on the return day (the Subpoena being returned executed) and put in their answers, it shall be lawful for the Complainant at any time afterwards on giving their Attorney at law reasonable notice of the time and place of taking Depositions, and where they have no such Attorney on his filing such notice in the Clerk's office twenty days before the taking such Depositions, to proceed and take such Depositions in the same manner that he might have done if the Defendants had put in their Answers, and he had given them personal notice of the time and place of taking such Depositions.
15. In all cases of taking Depositions, except where it is hereby otherwise particularly directed, the party taking the same shall give to the opposite party reasonable notice of the time and place of taking such Depositions, unless such party reside out of the State in which case notice shall be given to his Attorney in fact; provided notice be given to such party, or filed in the Clerk's office of the appointment of such Attorney in fact; and where no such notice shall be given or filed, then, notice of the time and place of taking such Depositions given to his Attorney at law shall be sufficient: But no notice shall be necessary to any Defendant, except such, as it is intended to use the Depositions as evidence against.
16. Witnesses shall be examined viva voce in Court except in cases of Bills to perpetuate testimony; except also in those cases where Depositions are allowed to be taken by the Act establishing this Court; and except in those cases which have been removed into this Court from the Supreme Court for the District of Kentucky; in which last mentioned cases those Depositions which have been legally taken shall be read as evidence, unless the opposite party shall give the party for whom they were taken, or his Attorney, reasonable notice of, in writing, to have the witnesses summoned to attend the Court in person, after which the Depositions so taken, shall be considered as if they had been taken de bene esse only.
17. The parties shall only be allowed to bring testimony to support the matters stated in their complaint and defence.
18. All causes depending before the Court, under its Original jurisdiction, which are not ready for hearing, shall be entered in a separate docket to be kept for that purpose, and shall be called over in Court on the general return days, that the necessary steps may be taken therein.
19. Every cause shall be considered as being for hearing at the Term next after the coming in of the Answer, unless the Court for good cause to them shewn shall direct by order of the Court, that it shall be continued to some subsequent Term: But any cause may be heard the same Term that the answer is filed by the consent of both parties. All those cases which are to be heard at the next Term, shall, prior to such Term, be set to such particular days as the Clerk may think proper, time enough to have the witnesses summoned to attend at the trial of such cause, and no cause shall be continued beyond the day on which it is set for trial, though by the consent of the parties, but on good cause shewn to the Court.
20. When any such cause is continued to the next Term, it shall be set to a particular preremptory day in that Term, on which it shall be heard, unless for very special cause to be shewn to the Court.
21. Where a survey is necessary, an order for it shall be made on the coming in of the Answer.
22. Where the parties or some of them, do not name a deputy surveyor, or some other person to execute the order of survey, it shall be directed to the principal Surveyor of the County in which the land is situate, to be by him executed.
23. All unnecessary lines laid down in any survey, shall be paid for by the party directing the same to be laid down.
24. Every order of survey shall be executed, and four fair copies thereof returned into the Clerk's Office at least thirty days before the next Term, which the Surveyor shall be directed to do by the said order.
25. In all Caveats now depending, or which may be brought hereafter, the material parts of the complaint and defence shall be stated in writing; and either party may call on the other to answer any matter, on oath, in the same manner as is directed in other cases.
26. All Cross Caveats, now depending shall be considered, and determined on, as one suit.—
27. All Caveats which have been removed into this Court from the Supreme Court for the District of Kentucky, in which orders of survey have been executed, or in which no such order is necessary, shall be considered as being for trial the next Term, unless for good cause shewn, the Court shall direct them to be postponed to a subsequent Term.
28. All Suits in Chancery removed into this Court from the Supreme Court for the District of Kentucky, which were set for hearing before such removal, shall be considered as being for trial at the next Term; all such suits as were not set for hearing, shall be put on the Docket to the next Term, to be proceeded in as is before directed for other suits commenced under the original Jurisdiction of this Court.
29. Any person having both the legal title to, and possession of land may institute a suit against any other person setting up a claim thereto; and if the Complainant shall be able to establish his title to such land, the Defendant shall be Decreed to release his claim thereto, and to pay the Complainant his costs, unless the Defendant, shall, by his Answer, disclaim all title to such land, and offer to give such release to the Complainant, in which case the Complainant shall pay to the Defendant his costs, except for special reasons appearing, the Court shall otherwise Decree.
30. Where either party has been called on for a discovery on oath, and the fact, as to which the discovery was prayed, is afterwards submitted to a Jury, the Answer put in, as to such fact, shall be laid before the Jury, in the same manner as practiced with regard to Answers on an issue directed to be tried at law by a Court of Chancery.
31. Before the calling of any suit set for hearing, the parties or their Attorneys, shall be prepared with a written statement of such facts arising in such suits as they are agreed on; also, a statement of such facts as they do not agree on; in order to their being submitted to a Jury, or to the Court, the parties shall waive the trial of such facts by a Jury. And either

may insert such facts, to be inquired of by a Jury as he shall think material to his cause; but all facts, to be decided on, shall be stated in such a manner as will bring them fully and fairly under the consideration of the Jury. (To be continued.)
FRANCE, September 28. A letter received the 28th of September by the National Convention of France from Gen. Montesquieu, dated Chambery (the capital of Savoy) Sept. 22, contains the following information.
That he had made himself master of the whole country from the borders of the Isere to the Lake of Geneva. The flight of the despotic troops was so rapid that he found it impossible to come up with them. The booty taken from them, however, was immense, and all this gained with 12 battalions against 15,000 men. He had taken possession of Anneci, Carouge, Tournon, and in about eight days more expected to make himself master of the whole country from Geneva to Mount Cenis. The French were every where received with an ecstasy of joy by the people, who had for so many ages bowed under the yoke of aristocracy and tyranny, and who instantly assumed the three-coloured cockade. Orders were given to receive taxes in the name of the French nation: the people were every where disposed to bring about a revolution in Savoy like that of France. The booty taken from the enemy, was an immense quantity of tents, kettles, and every species of camp baggage; 1000 muskets, 3000 sacks of wheat, 10,000 cartridges, a large quantity of powder, granadier hats and caps innumerable, an immense quantity of salt, and about 30,000 livres in money. It was thought Savoy, being thus rescued from despotism, would be established by the people into a republic under the protection of France.
On the 20th of September an engagement took place between General Kellermann, commander of the French middle army, and the combined forces of the Austrians and Prussians. The enemy made the attack at break of day on the advanced guard of the French, which fell back at the same time making a resolute defence. The enemy was in great force, and marched in several columns. Not being able to make an impression on the army, they extended their line on the night of Gen. Kellermann, under cover of an immense artillery. The French then ranged in order of battle, and notwithstanding a rather disadvantageous position, the battle was maintained from 7 in the morning till the same hour in the evening: the cannonade lasted 14 hours, in which the French lost many gallant men, in all 250 killed and wounded: the enemy's loss in cavalry and artillery was said to be prodigious.
LEXINGTON, January 26.

We are also informed, that a treaty is to be held in the spring with the hostile tribes of Indians, and that an Indian Flag arrived the week before last at Fort Jefferson.
The Court of Oyer and terminer adjourned on Thursday last; during their session Thomas Sharp was indicted for horse stealing, found guilty, and sentenced to be burnt in the hand.

A GENTLEMAN having missed his way, fortunately overtook a boy going with a quantity of tar to mark his master's sheep. The gentleman asked the road to —, but was directed by so many windings and turnings, right and left, that he agreed to take the boy behind him on the horse as he was going near the same place. Finding him pert and docile, he gave him, as they rode on, some wholesome advice relative to his future conduct, adding, occasionally, Mark me well, my boy. Yes, sir, says he, I do. However, he repeated the injunction so often, that the boy at last cried out— Sir, I have no more tar.
