APPEAL AND ERROR — Writ of Error — Dismissal. The petition in error and case-made were filed and summons in error issued May 29, 1911. On June 23d defendant in error moved to have the petition in error made more definite and certain, by stating the names of the plaintiffs in error on behalf of whom the petition was prosecuted, which motion was sustained in September 12th. This order was never complied with, and on May 9, 1912, defendant in error moved to dismiss because of such failure, and also because the case had never been briefed. Held that, no response having been made to the motion, nor application made for leave to file briefs out of time, or to then comply with the order, the motion would be sustained.
