Syllabus
Appellate Practice — Entry of Appeal Should Specify a Return Day. An entry of appeal that specifies no term of the court or return day to which the appeal is taken is fatally defective, and the record of such an entry of appeal does not notify the appellee of any definite time at which he is to appear therein before the appellate court, and can not, therefore,- be effectual as notice of such appeal. The appeal in such a case will be dismissed
