The only question in this case is, whether the Circuit Court erred in not allowing plaintiff in error time to file an amended appeal bond, and in dismissingliis appeal. The record shows the case was brought to the Circuit Court on appeal from the judgment of the justice of the peace. The record further shows that on the 9th day of October term, 1876, a motion was entered to dismiss the appeal on account of the insufficiency of the appeal bond accompanied by an affidavit of the irresponsibility of the sureties on the bond. That on the 10th day of the term plaintiff in error asked and obtained leave to file amended bond by 12th Oct. day of the term. Amended bond was filed, and on the 13th day of October defendant moved to dismiss because the bond misdescribed the date of the judgment; and on the 14th October plaintiff’s attorneys asked leave to file affidavits showing the date in bond was the true date, and that transcript bore wrong date, but the court refused to hear the affidavit; whereupon plaintiff asked further time to file amended appeal bond, conforming to the date of transcript as shown by the transcript, but the court refused to give further time, and dismissed plaintiff’s appeal. We are of opinion that under the circumstances further time to perfect appeal bond ought to have been given. Plaintiff’s counsel may have made a mistake in supposing it was better to amend the transcript { than to amend the bond, and unless the cause was called for trial, leave ought to have been granted to file amended bond. Por this reason this cause is reversed and remanded.

Beversed and remanded.
