Syllabus

<p>1. Appellate jurisdiction of Supreme Court—as respects the circuit courts. This court has no jurisdiction to entertain a writ of error sued out since July 1, 1877, to reverse a judgment of the circuit court in an action of assumpsit, and such writ will be dismissed on the court’s own motion. The writ should issue from the Appellate Court.</p> <p>2. Costs—in Supreme Court. Where a writ of error was dismissed by this court, on its own motion, for want of jurisdiction, each party was required to pay his own costs in this court.</p>
