The circuit court en· tered a judgment for plaintiff. 47 Fed. Rep. 267. Defendant appeals. .Affirmed. Charles C.Waters, U. S. Atty. U. M. Rose and G. B. Rose, for appellee. Before CALDWELL and SANBORN, Circuit Judges, and BHIRAS, District Judge. SANBORN, Circuit Judge. This is an appeal from a judgment against the United States for fees due to the clerk of the circuit court for the eastern district of Arkansas, rendered under the provisions of the act of March 3, 1887, (24 St. c. 359.) The judgment appealed from was entered on October 5, 1891, and on the same day an appeal to this court was prayed for and granted. No assignment of errors was filed until June 30, 1892. By the act of March 3, 1891, (26 St. pp. 826, 829,) no appeal by which this judg· ment could be reviewed in this court could be taken, except within six months after the entry of this judgment. The eleventh rule of this court which was adopted on June 17, 1891, reads as follows: "The pillint;iff in error or appellant shall file with the clerk of the court below, with his petition for the writ of error or appeal, an assignment of errors, wbich shall set out separately and particularly each error asserted and intl:'nded to be urged. No writ of error or appeal shall be allowed until such assignment of errors shall have been filed. When the error alleged Is to the admissio)l or, to the rejection of evidence, the assignment of errors shall quote the full substance of the evidence admitted 01· rejected. Wben the error allegEd is to the cbarge of 'the court, the assignment of errors shall set mit the part referred to totidem verbis, whether it be in instructions given or:in instructions refused. Such lIBsignment of errors shall form part of the . transcript of the record, and be printed with it. When this is not done, coun·
22 'J: ,:J., did n.ot me any assignment of 'errors when it prayed f0f:. itsllPpeal, nor, until long atter the· six . months allowed for perfecting the appeal had expired, the errors assigned in this case must be disregarded under the me. In view of the fact that this is the first case in which we have had occasion to enforce this rule, we have carefully exalnined this arid are satisfied that no substantial error wascominitted by the court below, and that no injustice will be done by thel\Pplication of the rule to this case, while the announcement that it will be enforced may promote its observance, and thus prevent injustice from its enforcement in the future·. ',' The result is that this court. will not errors the asof which is nottnade and 1I1ed in the ,court below when the'appeal or writ of error is allowed. The .jodgment below is aftirmecL , ' , ,:i )
