Head Matter:
Martin & Ward v. Latimer, Bagby & Co.
The transcript of the record on appeal to this court must be certified by the clerk to be a full transcript of all tho proceedings in the cause.
Where a judgment liad been affirmed at a former term, without reference to the merits, on motion, it appearing that the transcript had not been certified to be a full transcript of all the proceedings in the cause, and further, that no appeal bond had been given, the-mandate was revoked and the judgment declared a nullity “ on both the grounds mentioned.” (Note 70.)
Note 70.—Hills v. Bagby, ante, 320.
Motion to revoke the mandate issued at the last term in this case.

Opinion:
Lipscomb, J.
The judgment in this case was affirmed at the last term of this court, without reference to the merits, on filing the transcript of the record by the appellee after the expiration of the thirty days from the commencement of the term. The transcript of the record on which the judgment was affirmed is defective in what is considered an essential requisite: the clerk does not certify that it is a full transcript of all the proceedings in the cause.
It does not appear that the appeal awarded at the trial was consummated by giving bond; consequently, according to tho decision in Mills v. Bagby, there was no appeal. The affirmance of the judgment was therefore a nullity and void on both the grounds mentioned. The mandate issued is therefore-revoked.
Ordered accordingly.
