Syllabus

<p>Appeal—Bond—Exemption in Behalf of City. Where the civil service commissioners are city officers, and prosecute an appeal from the reversal of their official decision, no bond on appeal is necessary, as the appeal is on the city’s behalf.</p> <p>Bill of Exceptions—Sufficiency on Wbit of Review. Where a contest before a city civil service commission is brought up to the superior court upon a writ of review and heard upon the return and the testimony introduced before the commission, as a bill of exceptions, the same, upon being certified to contain all the material facts, etc., is a sufficient bill of exceptions or statement of facts on appeal to the supreme court.</p> <p>Appeal—Dismissal—Briefs—Printing Findings—Exceptions to Findings. The failure of the appellants to print the findings of fact in which they allege error, or to take exceptions thereto in the court helow, is not ground for striking the briefs or dismissing the appeal, hut the court will treat the findings as conclusive, and not review the evidence.</p> <p>Writ of Review—Attestation. A writ of review issued by order of court upon the showing required by statute, and sealed and attested by the derk, is sufficient without attestation by the judge.</p> <p>Same—Application—Specification of Errors—Demurrer. A demurrer to an application for a writ of review on the ground that the errors are not specifically pointed out is properly overruled when it is sufficient to apprise the party of the errors, and a motion to make more definite was not made.</p>
