Syllabus

<p>1. Appeal and Error. Appeal after time allowed. Dismissal.</p> <p>Where an appeal to the supreme court is not filed within the time allowed by law, and no sufficient excuse is given for the delay, the appeal will be dismissed.</p> <p>2. Appeal and Error. Stipulation of counsel. Rule of supreme court.</p> <p>Under supreme court rule 22, so providing, no agreement between counsel will be regarded by that court, unless such agreement is reduced to writing and signed by them, and therefore a disputed oral agreement between counsel that of several pending cases involving the same facts in the chancery and circuit courts, only one case should be appealed and that all the other cases would be governed by the ruling of the supreme court in the case appealed, such an agreement will not be considered by the court as an excuse for the delay in not filing an appeal within the time fixed by law.</p>
