Head Matter:
BARROW’s EXECUTORS versus BAKER.
APPEAL, on a rule to shew cause why an appeal from the Halifax County Court should not be dimissed; the reasons for the appeal being signed by the defendant himself, and not by his Attorney, in an action of Debt.
Iredell for the rule.
Davie contra.

Opinion:
It was determined by the court, that the proviso, in the act of 1785, 2, 548, relates only to the cases mentioned in that act, and operates as an exception to that act only; therefore as from actions of debt, an appeal lay by 2, 1777, 2, 82, 348, it was not in the purview of this act.
