Where appellee moves, at the term to which an appeal was taken, to dismiss the appeal on account of the failure of appellants to file a petition of appeal in the time prescribed by the rules, and pending, such motion the appellants move for leave to file the petition, accompanying the motion with a petition which is too general in its designation of alleged errors, the court will, under the liberal practice obtaining in such cases, permit the petition to be filed on terms. Payment by appellant of the ■costs of both motions and filing a proper amended petition of appeal within a stated time, required as terms of allowance of .appellants’ motion.</p>
