Syllabus

<p>1. Appeal bond.—In an appeal by several parties, an appeal bond in which two or more of the appellants sign as the sureties, is not such an appeal bond as is contemplated by the statute, to give this court jurisdiction of the case.</p> <p>2. Term of court.—When a court is organized and opened for a regular term, the term continues until it is ended by order of final adjournment, or until the expiration of the time fixed by law for its continuance.</p> <p>3. Sessions of court.—The sessions or sittings of the court during the term are entirely within the control of the court; its orders in respect thereto are intended for its own convenience and the convenience of parties interested in its proceedings.</p> <p>4. Case approved.—George et al. v. Dean, supra, approved.</p> <p>5. Levy of tax—Order of County Court.—Where the order of court, imposing the tax within its authority, states the amount and character of the tax, and of the property upon which it is levied, such order is sufficient.</p> <p>6. County poll-tax.—A county poll-tax, levied by the act of the Legislature, does not require an order of the County Court, levying it. to authorize its collection.</p> <p>7. Assessment rolls.—Here defects in the form and manner of making up tlie consolidated assessment roll, do not afford grounds for the interposition of a court of equity, to enjoin the collection of taxes legally levied, where, from the different statutes on the subject, the meaning of such tax-rolls can be ascertained.</p>
