An appeal from a judgment does not lie until it is entered and perfected, and the time of appealing begins to run on service of notice of entry of judgment. Bentley vs. Jones et al., 4 How. 335.

If the appellant neglects to prosecute his appeal, it will be dismissed with costs. Hogan vs. Brophy, 2 Code Rep. 77.

And if he elects to dismiss his own appeal he must enter the order and pay the respondent's costs. Burnett agt. Harkness, 4 How. 158.

§ 326. [Sec. 274.] The party appealing, shall be known as the appellant, and the adverse party as the respondent. But the title of the action shall not be changed, in consequence of the appeal.

But the entitling, as it regards the court, must be changed. Clickman vs. Clickman, 1 Com. 611.

§327. [Sec. 275.] An appeal must be made by the service of a notice in writing, on the adverse party, and on the clerk, with whom the judgment or order appealed from is entered, stating the appeal from the same or some specified part thereof. When a party shall give in good faith, notice of appeal from a judgment or order, and shall omit through mistake, to do any other act necessary to perfect the appeal or to stay proceedings, the court may permit an amendment on such terms as may be just.

The notice of appeal must be served on the attorney of record, in the court below. Tripp agt. De Bow, 5 How. 114.

The time of service of notice on the clerk when made by mail, does not date from the day of depositing in the Post Office. Crittenden agt. Adams and others, 5 How. 310.

Time to appeal cannot be enlarged by the court. Enos and others agt. Thomas and Hunter, 5 How. 361; Renoul vs. Harris, 2 Sand, 642. Contra, Crittenden agt. Adams and others, 5 How. 310; Traver vs. Silvernail, 2 Code Rep. 96. Westcott vs. Platt, 1 Code Rep. 100.

waived.

The undertaking must be "to pay costs and damages," to be effectual. Langley and Langley vs Warner, 1 Com. 606; S. C., 3 How. 363.

Where an appeal is taken from two orders, one undertaking in the sum of $250, is not sufficient. Schermerhorn vs. Anderson and others, 1 Com. 430; S. C., 2 Code Rep. 2.

Where one of several defendants appearing by different attorneys, appeals and gives one bond to cover the whole judgment, as required by the next section, and one bond according to the requirements of this section, held sufficient. Smith vs. Lynes and others, 4 How. 209; S. C., 2 Com. 569.

The appeal is perfected when the proper undertaking, with an affidavit of the sureties has been executed, and notice of the appeal has been served on the adverse party, and on the clerk with whom the judgment or order was entered. Thompson vs. Blanchard et al., 4 How. 210; S. C., 2 Com. 561.
