Syllabus

<p>1. Practice—Bankruptcy.—The discharge in bankruptcy of an appellant, pending the appeal in the supreme court of this state of a cause appealed by him, does not entitle him to its dismissal nor prevent an adjudication thereof.</p> <p>3. Oases reaffirmed.—The doctrine in Hickcok v. Bell, 46 Tex., 610, reaffirmed.</p> <p>3. Practice.—The jurisdiction, organization and modes of procedure of the supreme court are not adapted to the introduction of original pleas therein.</p> <p>4. Charge of court.—When, in an action on account, the charge of the court improperly limits the amount of recovery to a specified amount, the judgment will be reversed, unless on a consideration of the evidence it should manifestly appear that a verdict for a different amount than that found would have been so clearly erroneous that it should have been set aside.</p>
