1. Time of examination of sureties.-Where a party gave notice of justification of the sureties on an undertaking before the Clerk of the Court below, on the seventh of Novenber, between the hours of ten A. M. and five P. M. of that day, and the sureties appeared upon such notice soon after ten of that day: Held, that the Clerk acted properly in refusing to take their justification, the opposite party being absent, until the last hour stated in the notice. Lower v. Knox, 10 Cal. 480.

2. Time within which to justify cannot be extended.-Where the respondent gave notice, April 20th, excepting to the sufficiency of the sureties

on an undertaking on appeal, and appellant there gave notice that the sureties would justify on the twenty-fifth of the same month, and orders were afterwards made extending the time of justification to May 1st: Held, that the failure of the sureties to justify within five days after notice of exception to their sufficiency rendered the appeal a nullity: that the statute upon this subject is peremptory; and that the Court had no power to extend the time. Roush v. Van Hagen, 17 Cal. 121.

3. Officers before whom to justify.-Under the three hundred and fiftyfifth section of the Practice Act, where respondent excepts to the sureties on the undertaking on appeal, the sureties must justify before a County Judge of the county where the suit is pending, where that officer is selected, and where such justification was before the County Judge of another county, where the sureties resided, the appeal will be dismissed. Roush v. Van Hagen, 18 Cal. 668.

4. Failure to justify, effect of.-A failure of sureties upon an undertaking on appeal to justify, when they are excepted to, leaves the appeal as though no undertaking had been filed, and ineffectual for any purpose. Lower v. Knox, re the appellant, on an appeal pending from the District Court to the the Prade ared the does Court, filed in the Clerk's office of the District Court his notice of appeal aking, and the respondent, within the time allowed by law, excepted to ney of the sureties to the undertaking, and they failed to justify to the

ses not provided for in sections three hundred and forty-nine, three hundred and fifty, three hundred and fifty-one, and three hundred and fifty-two, the perfecting of an appeal, by giving the undertaking, and the justification of the sureties thereon, if required, or making the deposit mentioned in section three hundred and fortyeight, shall stay proceedings in the Court below upon the judgment or order appealed from; except that where it directs the sale of perishable property, the Court below may order the property to be sold, and the proceeds thereof to be deposited, to abide the judgment of the Appellate Court.

N. Y. Code, § 342.

1. In an action for personal property, with damages for its detention, the verdict was for defendant, and subsequently the Court below made an order granting a new trial, from which order defendant appealed to the Supreme Court, giving an undertaking for damages and costs, under the three hundred and forty-eighth section of the Practice Act, and then the Court below, against the objection of defendant, proceeded to try the cause a second time, when plaintiff had verdict and judgment: Held, that the judgment must be reversed, because the Court below

could not proceed with a second trial until the appeal from the order was determined. Ford v. Thompson, 19 Cal. 118.

2. On appeal from an order granting a new trial, in such a case, the verdict being in favor of the defendant and appellant, undertaking for damages and costs according to the three hundred and forty-eighth section of the Practice Act is sufficient to stay proceedings pending the appeal. Id.

§ 357. Appeals may be brought to a hearing on notice.

[1854.] Appeals in the Supreme Court may be brought to a hearing by either party, upon a notice of three days to the opposite party. Before the argument, each party shåll furnish to the other, and each of the Justices, a copy of his points and authorities, or either party may file one copy thereof with the Clerk, who shall cause the requisite copies to be made.

1. Where notice of argument has been given by the appellant, the respondent may move for an affirmance of the judgment ex parte, although he has given no notice of argument. Bennett, J. dissenting. Constant v. Ward, 1 Cal. 333.

2. Though a decision of the Supreme Court will not be set aside for want of a formal statutory notice of argument, if the adverse party had actual notice, yet a judgment of affirmance for failure of the appellant to appear will be set aside, if he had not actual notice, etc. Lightstone v. Laurencel, 2 Cal. 106.

3. Where counsel, in a cause pending in the Supreme Court, stipulate to submit the case to the Court on two grounds only, it is a clear waiver of all other assignments of error, and they will not be allowed to go behind such stipulation, and insist upon points other than those mentioned in the stipulation. Cahoon et al. v. Levy, 10 Cal. 216.

§ 358. On judgment on appeal, remittitur shall be certified to the Clerk of the Court below.

When judgment is rendered upon the appeal, it shall be certified by the Clerk of the Supreme Court to the Clerk with whom the judgment roll is filed, or the order appealed from is entered. In cases of appeal from the judgment, the Clerk with whom the roll is filed shall attach the certificate to the judgment roll, and enter a minute of the judgment of the Supreme Court on the docket against the original entry. In cases of appeal from an order, the Clerk shall enter at length in the records of the Court the certificate received, and minute against the entry of the order appealed from a reference to the certificate, with a brief statement that such order has been affirmed, reversed or modified, as the case may be, by the Supreme Court, on appeal.

1. The Court below cannot refuse to give effect to the judgment of this Court; and a judgment entered by the Clerk, in such case, is just as binding as if entered in the Supreme Court itself. McMillan v. Richards, 12 Cal. 467.

2. Where a case is appealed from the District Court to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court reverses the judgment of the District Court, and directs the entry of a final judgment, such judgment can be entered by the Clerk of the District Court in the vacation. Id.

3. The act of the Clerk in entering the judgment is a mere ministerial act. Id.
