Syllabus

<p>Appeal—Amendment—Certificate of Justice—Justice of Peace— Appeal Bond—Practice—Rule of Cowrt.</p> <p>1. Under Section 16, Rule g, of Superior Court, the Justice is allowed to amend his certificate on or before the first Friday of the term to which the appeal is entered; and such amendment will not be allowed after the time stated in said rule.</p> <p>2. It appeared by the record of the Justice (l) that the appeal bond contained the word “successors” instead of “executors;” and (2) that the certificate of the Justice did not set out that the transcript was “a true copy of all the docket entries,” but simply certified that it was a “true copy and truly copied from the records ” etc. Held that the appeal should be dismissed.</p>
