Syllabus

<p>1. The payment of the taxed costs is a condition precedent and is indispensable to an appeal from an award of arbitrators.</p> <p>2. Such defect could not be cured by charging the costs to counsel.</p> <p>3. The court will enforce by attachment the payment of costs taxed subsequently to an appeal.</p> <p>4. The negligence or want of knowledge of the prothonotary will not condone the errors of a party in failing to do what the law requires.</p> <p>5. Omitting an amount coming within the principle de minimis will not set aside an appeal.</p>
