This cause was commenced in 1847, and determined in 1849, under the old practice. The appeal *580bond was filed on the 9th of October, 1849. The record was filed in this Court, May 27,1854, and is indorsed “ submitted by agreement, November 18,1855.” Process appears to have been issued and served on the appellees; but there is no joinder in error, no appearance for the appellees, no agreement to submit, and no default. It may be doubted whether the case is properly in this Court.

But admitting that it is, the assignment of errors, that the decree should have been for the defendant, is bad. Kimball v. Sloss, post, 589.

All the other errors assigned are waived in the argument, except the want of parties. That objection alone is argued, but not supported by any authority. The defendants demurred, assigning that, rather obscurely, as one cause. But on the demurrer’s being overruled, they answered over. The case, tried in 1849, was governed by the chancery practice in force at that time. If they intended to avail themselves of this objection, they should have pursued the steps indicated in sections 39, 40, 41, R. S. 1843, pp. 838-9; and followed it by a proper specific assignment of errors in this Court, under the new practice, which is the law governing it here. 2 R. S. 161.

The decree is affirmed, with 10 per cent, damages and costs.
