W. J. McBURROUGH, Appellant, vs. THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA, Appellee.
[January Term, A. D. 1901.]
Appeal from the Court of Quarter Sessions and Common Pleas, Montserrado County.
Seduction.
Motion to Dismiss Appeal.
The Republic of Liberia, appellee in the above entitled case, in which W. J. McBurrough is appellant, “respectfully motions this honorable court to dismiss this case and rule the appellant to pay all costs, because the said appellant has violated the statute law of this Republic in that he has filed no appeal bond ; that is to say, the document filed in this case as a bond is not the bond which the law requires, because it is not signed by the appellant himself or by any attorney or person acting for him, as will more fully appear to this honorable court by inspection of said document filed in the record of this case, as well as by inspection of the original paper filed in the clerk’s office in the court below; all of which the appellee is ready to prove.”
After arguments and the inspection of said instrument purporting to be an appeal bond, by the court, the court sustains the motion for dismissal of said appeal, the same being well founded in law. Therefore the case is dismissed and the court below is hereby authorized to resume jurisdiction in said case.
