It was error to dismiss the appeal. The appeal bond was filed within the time required by law, that is, within ten days after the last day on which the motion for new trial could have been acted upon. [3 Civil Cas. Ct. App., § 105.] The judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded to the county court for trial de novo.
