any of said courts, at any time within the period that the par-
ties, or any of them, shall have the right to file an appeal from
the rendition of the verdict by the jury or the findings of the
court upon the issue of fact in said cause; and upon filing the
order for such an appeal, the time for signing said Bills of
Exceptions shall thereby be further extended until ten days
before the period within which it is required that the

vided that the party appealing, or his counsel, shall submit
the bills of exceptions to the appellee, or his counsel, not
less than thirty days prior to the time that the record
must be filed in the Court of Appeals, for the pur-
pose of amendments or additions to the said Bills
of Exceptions, and the appellee, or his counsel, within
fifteen days after said Bills of Exceptions shall have
been submitted to him, shall return said Bills of Exceptions to
the appellant, or his counsel, with such amendments or addi-
tions as he may desire. And upon his failure to return said
Bills of Exceptions within said time, the Bills of Exceptions
shall be signed by the Court, as originally prepared by the
appellant, or his counsel. If the said appellee, or his counsel,
shall return the said Bills of Exceptions to the appellant, or his
counsel, with his amendments or additions, as hereinabove pro-
vided, the said Bills of Exceptions with such amendments or
additions shall forthwith be presented to the judge before whom
