Head Matter:
John C. Gale v. Emeline Gould et al.
Time for taking appeal.
The forty days within which an appeal must be taken run from the date of the settlement of the case. Act 26 of 1877.
Motion to dismiss appeal on the ground that it had been taken too late. The testimony had been taken in open court.
Submitted January 7.
Denied January 8.
M. V. Montgomery for the motion.
H. A. Shaw against.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
_ Appeal was taken within forty days after settlement of the case. The law of 1877 [Pub. Acts, p. 18] changes the old law and makes the time for taking appeal run from the settlement of the case.
