Head Matter:
Brunt v. The State, on the Relation of French and Others.
Practice.—Transcript.—Seal of Court.—A paper purporting to be a transcript of a record, without the seal of the court, cannot be regarded as such in the Supreme Court.
APPEAL from the Madison Common Pleas.
f. A. Harrison, for appellant.
C. D. Thompson and J. T. Smith, for appellees.

Opinion:
Pettit, J.
The paper purporting to be a transcript in this case is not certified under the seal of the court from which it purports to come, and for that reason the appeal is dismissed. We cannot recognize a paper as a copy or transcript of the records of another court, unless it comes to us under the seal of that court. 2 G. & H. 273, sec. 558; Hinton v.

The appeal is dismissed, at the costs of the appellant.
