Argued before PARKER, P. J., and LAND Olí, HERRICK, MER-WIN, and PUTNAM, JJ.
J. W. Atkinson, for appellant.
Thomas O’Connor, for respondents.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The certificate of the clerk shows that the appeal book contains copies of all the papers filed in his office. The papers whose absence from the appeal book is complained of by the respondents were the papers and proceedings used by them upon the motion. If they had neglected to file them, they should not now be permitted to have the appeal dismissed because of their absence from the appeal book.
