Syllabus

<p>Cross-appeals in equity must be prosecuted like other appeals; and although they may be taken and allowed after removal of the cause, on appeal, to this court, yet that caynot be done after the lapse of two years from the date of the decree.</p> <p>The court takes notice of the facts that in this case no assignment of errors was annexed to the transcript of the record as required by law, and that no specification of errors was made in the brief of .counsel, as required by the rule, and expresses the hope that there will be no recurrence of such omissions.</p> <p>If a purchaser of real estate, to whom representations of the character and value of the property are made by the vendor, visits the property itself prior to the sale, and makes a personal examination of it touching those representations, he will be presumed to rely on his own examination, in making the purchase, and not upon the representations of the vendor; and in the absence of fraud or concealment, cannot have the sale set aside: applying this rule to the present case, the bill must be dismissed.</p>
