The Court op Appeals, at their present January term (1850,) have decided that the dismissal of an appeal is such a judgment of the court, as authorizes a remittitur of the proceedings to the court below, under § 12, of the code.

The case of McFarland-agt. Watson, ante, 128, was alluded to as being incorrectly reported in that respect.

Two cases were decided upon motion, at this term, both of which presented the distinct point above mentioned; and both arose in consequence of an order dismissing the appeal, entered under rule 7, of the court. They will be reported in the next number.
