Syllabus

<p>Appeal—Dismissal — Defective Transcript.—When the transcript on appeal contains a large number of written erasures, alterations, and marginal corrections, and is not printed on such paper and in such form as the rules require, and is not certified as required by law (the certificate merely stating that the transcript is correct, without stating in terms that the papers are correct copies of the originals on file, and without stating that the erasures, interlineations, and alterations were made before the certificate was given), and if the copy served did not contain most of the corrections made in the original, the appeal will be dismissed for want of a sufficient certificate to the transcript, and for want of service of a substantially correct copy on the respondent.</p>
