and doubts have been entertained whether said
jurisdictions must be exercised separately, or
whether they may be exercised together in the

rules Of practice adopted in said Territories
which have authorized mingling of said juris-
dictions in the same proceeding, or uniform
course of proceeding in all cases legal and
equitable, are repugnant to the said organic
acts respectively: Therefore,
Be Il enacted By the Senate and House Of Rep

ritores respectively, in so far as they authorize
3 mingling of said jurisdictions or q uniform

cised by writ of error, and In all other cases by
appeal according to such rules and regulations
as to form and modes of proceeding as the said
Supreme Court have prescribed or may here
after prescribe: Propidsd, That on appeal, in
stead Of the evidence at large, a statement of
the facts of the case in the nature Of q special
verdict, and also the rulings of the court on
the admission or rejection of evidence when
excepted to, shall be made and certified by the
court below, and Transmitted TO the Supreme
Court together with the transcript of the pro-
eeedings and judgment or DEGREES; but no ap-
pellate proceedings in said Supreme Court,
heretofore taken upon any such Judgment or

provided further, That the appellate court may
make any order in any case heretofore ap-
pealed, which may be necessary to save the
rights Of the parties; aud that this act shall
not apply to cases now pending In the Supreme
