Barrel v. Transportation Company

MOTION by Mr. Browing (Mr. Rae, contra) to dismiss an appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Illinois. The record showed that no appeal had been prayed or allowed in the Circuit Court. Accompanying the record, however, was a petitioner addressed to that court, which prayed for an appeal. This petition was dated on the 20th July, 1865, ten days after the decree, and was filed on the same 20th of July, in the office of the clerk of the Circuit Court.
