Hannah Coleman, plaintiff in error, vs. W. A. Ransom & Company et al., defendants in error.
Practice Supreme Court. Service of bill of exceptions. From Muscogee county. May Term, 1870.
C. J. Thornton; Farrow & Thomas; G. E. Thomas, for plaintiff in error.
Chappell & Russell, for defendant.

Opinion:
There was no entry of service upon the bill of exceptions, and for want of service defendant moved to dismiss the cause. Plaintiff's counsel said, if time was given he could prove that a copy of the bill of exceptions was served upon the party or his counsel. The Court replied that time could not be given ; that service must appear on the bill of exceptions, by an acknowledgement, or by a return of an officer or affidavit of the party perfecting it, and dismissed the cause.
