Ahoskie Production Credit Association v. Whedbee

Both parties have filed briefs in their capacities both as appellant and as appellee. Rule 28 of the Rules of Practice in the Court of Appeals provides that the appellants brief "shall contain, properly numbered, the several grounds of exception and assignment of error with reference to the pages of the record, and the authorities relied on classified under each assignment." Neither party as appellant has complied with this rule. This failure has added considerably to our difficulty in attempting to review their contentions, particularly in view of the large number of assignments of error noted in the record on appeal by the defendant as appellant. We have nevertheless undertaken to review both appeals upon the merits.
