Head Matter:
Succession of Samuel Broom.
When tho record does not show that tho amount in disputéis over $300, and the hiatus is not supplied "by an affidavit, tho appeal will he dismissed.
The practice of introducing all the mortuaria of a succession in mass, when it is only intended to prove . a fact or a date, is abusive, inasmuch as it is calculated to create unnecessary costs, and to confuse the issues.
A re-hearing will not bo granted when the evidence relied upon to support the application is only to be found in a different transcript from thatof the appeal, which the parties had agreed might bo referred to, but to which, by its title or number, no reference was made in the argument of tho cause
It is the settled practice of tho court not to notice in applications for re-hearing, points which were not made in the argument of the cause.

D. N. Hennen, for appellant. Durant & Ilornor, for appellee.

Opinion:
Buchanan, J.
Certain heirs of this estate took a rule upon.the administrar tor, under the Act of 1855, p. 79, jS5, to show cause why he should not furnish new and additional security for his administration, on the ground that the present securities are insufficient.
They have appealed from a judgment discharging the rule.
The appellee now moves to dismiss the appeal, on various grounds, of which one alone requires notice, viz, that the amount in dispute does not exceed three hundred dollars.
The record does not show the amount in dispute; and this hiatus has not been supplied by an affidavit on behalf of appellants.
Appeal dismissed, with costs.
