Motion to docket a cause removed from the state court. The appearance of defendant was entered September, 1S09; and, after passing two terms, the petition to remove was filed in February last, and granted as of September.

Opinion:
BY
THE COURT.
The agreement of the-state court, to consider the petition as filed, of a preceding term, when the appearance was entered nunc pro tunc, cannot'give us-jurisdiction, when we see, that in point of fact, it was not filed until a subsequent term. Motion overruled.
