An appeal taken during a term of the Supreme Court is properly returnable to the succeeding term of that court.</p> <p>3. On application for supersedeas in appeal from an interlocutory order or decree, the Judge or Justice is not required to satisfy lii-mind on litigated questions, but to see from an inspection of then-cord that there is an appeal, that it is not frivolous, and that the state of the case as to its future course is sucha- to render a stay <>i proceedings proper. What was said in Saxon v-. Gamble, 33 Fla., ¡ts to not considering the merits of the appeal, is modified so as to admit sqch consideration in order to see whether the appeal is frivolous.</p>
