Opinion

Mr. Chief Justice Waite

delivered the opinion of the court.'

-In this case no citation was ever issued, and the defendants in error do not appear. Notice of a writ of error, given in open court at the same term the judgment is rendered, is - not' the equivalent of the citation required by § 999 of the Revised Statutes. In this respect writs of error.differ from appeals taken in open court.

The writ of error is dismissed.
