Reynolds v. Lawrence
Reynolds v. Lawrence
Opinion of the Court
Field, C. J. and Cope, J. concurring.
The motion to dismiss is denied. The motion comes too late. The true construction of the stipulation of eighteenth October, 1859, is that the respondent should retain at the succeeding term the rights he had
Motion denied.
At the April term, Field, C. J. delivered the opinion of' the Court, Baldwin, J. and Cope, J. concurring.
The statement in this case is subject to the same objections taken in Barrett v. Tewksbury. It omits to specify the grounds upon which the appellant relies upon the appeal, and for this omission it cannot be regarded as forming any part of the record into which we can look. The appeal must therefore rest upon the judgment roll, which discloses no error, and the judgment is in consequence affirmed.

- A stipulation in the Supreme Court, that a cause be continued for the term, and that any motion may be made therein at the next term, by either party, which might have been made at the first term after the filing of the transcript, covers only the rights a party had at the time of the stipulation, and not those already lapsed by the laches of the party. Parties have no unqualified right to stipulate for the abrogation of rules prescribed by this Court. The statement on appeal, failing to specify the grounds of appeal, forms no part of the record into which the Supreme Court will look, and the case stands on the judgment roll, upon the authority of Barrett v. Tewksbury.
