P. G. L , (1860,) art. 29, sec. 31. 1853, ch. 68, sec. 3.

45. The issuing of a writ of diminution shall not delay the
hearing in the court of appeals of any cause, if the return
thereto be made before the said cause shall be called for hear-
ing, unless for good cause shown.

Rule 19.

46. In all cases where a writ of diminution shall be issued, the
clerk of the inferior court to which the writ may be sent, shall,
in his return thereto, transmit to the court of appeals only so
much of the proceedings remaining of record in the interior
court, as may be necessary to correct the alleged errors or defects
in the transcript first sent to the court of appeals.

Rule 24

47. All appeals shall be brought into the court of appeals by
transcript of the records of the court below, as contemplated by
the constitution, and shall be made up as directed by law; and
the appellant, in all civil cases, shall pay, or secure to be paid, to
the clerk of the court of appeals, the cost of printing the neces-
sary number of copies of said transcript, as required by the
rules of court, at the rate of seven cents for every hundred
words, and so pro rata for each copy, instead of ten cents per
hundred words for each copy, as now provided by law; but
before the clerk shall be required to have any transcript in any
civil case printed, the appellant or appellants shall, upon being
furnished with the amount of the cost at the rate aforesaid, pay
or secure to be paid to the clerk, the amount, of such cost, so
that the clerk shall not be required to pay out money for print-
ing and incur the risk of loss, in not being able to collect the
cost from the parties from whom it may be due, after the work
is done. And if there be cross-appeals, or more than one appeal,
embraced in one transcript, the cost shall be duly apportioned;
and no appeal shall be considered as ready for hearing until this
rule shall be complied with by the appellant or appellants; but
