Syllabus

<p>1. Where an appeal is taken, but there are no grounds of error alleged, the appeal is not entitled to a hearing. This rule applied to this case, as the appeal was from an order refusing defendant’s motion to vacate a judgment by default, for delay in docketing the cause, when such delay was a courtesy extended at his own request, and where there was no claim of a bona fide defence.</p> <p>2. Under the present practice, a plaintiff is not out of court for failing to docket the cause within a year and a day, as the defendant has a right to docket. Eagood v. Riley, 21 S. C., 143.</p>
