ADDITIONAL GENERAL RULES

ADOPTED BY THE SUPREME COURT, AT ITS SESSION AT TALLAHASSEE, JANUARY, 1852.

Ordered, That hereafter upon every appeal in Chancery causes, the Appellant shall file with file with the transcript of the record a petition of appeal, in which the grounds upon which a reversal of the decree is placed shall be distinctly and plainly set forth; and counsel for Appellant will not be permitted in argument to insist upon any matters except such as are so stated and set forth.

Ordered, That hereafter when any appeal shall be entered in any Circuit Court, whether the case be in Equity or at Law, it shall be the duty of the party Appellant, at the time of entering his or her appeal, to apply to the Clerk of the Circuit Court from which the appeal is taken, or the Clerk of this Court, or some of the Deputies, to issue a citation requiring the Appellee or Respondent to be and appear at the next ensuing term of this Court to which the appeal is returnable, to show cause, if any he can, why the judgement or decree appealed from should not be reversed; and that said writ of citation shall be served and returned in like manner as a writ of scire facias ad audiendum errores, upon a writ of error sued out: Provided, however, That this rule shall not be deemed applicable to any cause where the appeal shall have been prayed and allowed in open Court during the Term wherein the judgment or decree appealed from shall have been made or passed.
