Nor from an order of a judge dissolving a restraining order. Pleasant v. Vevay Co., 42 Ind. 391.

An appeal lies from an order in vacation granting a temporary injunction. Flagg v. Sloan, 16 Ind. 432.

If special directions are given as to the transcript, the certificate should be made so as to cover the portions of the record made out, and the special directions should be attached to the transcript. Reid v. Houston, 49 Ind. 181.

If the transcript is defective the appeal will not be dismissed, but the defects may be cured by certiorari. Miller v. Shriner, 87 Ind. 141.

All proper entries made by the clerk, and all papers pertaining to a cause, and filed therein (except a summons for the defendant, where all the persons named in it have appeared to the action, and summons for witnesses, depositions, and other papers which are used as mere evidence), are to be deemed parts of the record; but a transcript of motions, affidavits, and other papers, when they relate to collateral matters, and depositions and papers filed as mere evidence shall not be certified, unless made a part of the record by exception or order of court, and directed to be certified by the appellant. Neither shall the clerk certify any pleading first filed, when there is an amended pleading of the same matter subsequently filed, embracing all the pleadings first filed, and the amendments thereto, but shall certify such amended pleading only. Every paper and pleading above excepted may be made part of the record by exceptions or order of the court, on motion. If the clerk should certify matter not material to the determination of the appeal, the supreme court may direct the person blamable therefor to pay the costs thereof: Provided, That when in any case an appeal is prosecuted upon the question of the correct

ness of instructions given or refused, or the modifications thereof, it shall not be necessary to set out in the record all the evidence given in the cause, but it shall be sufficient in the bill of exceptions to set out the instructions or modifications excepted to, with a recital of the fact that the same were applicable to the evidence in the cause.

The phrase "all proper entries made by the clerk, and all papers pertaining to a cause, and filed therein," include such entries as the clerk is required to make of the proceedings of the court, and the complaint, answer, reply, demurrers, and instruments of writing upon which pleadings are based. Kesler v. Myers, 41 Ind. 543; Heizer v. Kelly, 73 Ind. 582.

When the clerk is in doubt as to what should be included in a transcript, he should require the appellant to give written directions. Miles v. Buchanan, 36 Ind. 490.

When there is an appearance the summons and return must be put in the record by special order or bill of exceptions. Cincinnati, etc., R. R. Co. v. Heim, 97 Ind. 525. The motion for a new trial and rulings thereon are a part of the record under this section. Hill v. Newman, 47 Ind. 187; Nichols v. Thomas, 53 Ind. 42.

It is only matters that are properly entered by the clerk that become parts of the record. Vanderkarr v. State, 51 Ind. 91.

When a paper is once properly inserted in the record, it may be referred to without being again copied. Binkley v. Forkner, 117 Ind. 176.

The proviso to this section makes no change in the former practice as to the necessity of having the evidence in the record on exceptions to instructions. Drinkout v. Eagle Works, 90 Ind. 423; Rozell v. City, 91 Ind. 591. See Shugart v. Miles, 125 Ind. 445; Kinney v. Dodge, 101 Ind. 573.

This section does not apply to criminal actions. Meredith v. State, 122 Ind. 514.

663. (651.) Publication against non-resident.-636. Whenever it shall appear to the supreme court, by satisfactory proof, that the appellee in a cause appealed after the close of the term is not a resident of this state, and that a notice of the appeal can not be served upon the attorney of record in the court below, the court may order that notice of the pendency of the appeal be given in some newspaper printed and published in this state, for three weeks successively; after which the court shall proceed in all respects as if the defendant had been served with process.

See rule 17 of supreme court.

garded as submitted for decision at the expiration of thirty days from the date of service of notice upon the appellee of the taking of the appeal, or when such notice is waived and appellee enters a general appearance, or the appeal is taken in term time and perfected within the time limited, within thirty days after the record is filed and notice as above required is given in the supreme court.

666. (654.) Proceedings each day signed by chief judge.-662. The proceedings of the court for every day of the term shall be drawn up at full length by the clerk against the next sitting of the court, and such corrections being made therein as shall be necessary and right, they shall be signed by the chief judge of the court.

667. (655.) Assignment of errors-Answer.-647. No pleadings shall be required in the supreme court upon an appeal, but a specific assignment of all errors relied upon, to be entered on the transcript in matters of law only, which shall be assigned on or before the first day of the term at which the cause stands for trial: and the appellee shall file his answer thereto.

See rules 3 and 4 of supreme court.

The assignment of errors is in the nature of a complaint, and must be specific as to all errors relied upon. Hollingsworth v. State, ex rel., 8 Ind. 257; Trammel v. Chipman, 74 Ind. 474; Hutts v. Hutts, 62 Ind. 214.

The assignment must contain the names of the parties. Lang v. Cox, 35 Ind. 470; Darnall v. Hurt, 55 Ind. 275; Snyder v. State, ex rel., 124 Ind. 335.

Mere irregularties in the assignment of errors are disregarded. Landon v. White, 101 Ind. 249.

The submission of a cause by agreement waives irregularities in the assignment of errors. Ridenour v. Beekman, 68 Ind. 236; Truman v. Scott, 72 Ind. 258.

A complaint can only be attacked as an entirety by assignment of error, and one good paragraph defeats the assignment. McCallister v. Mount, 73 Ind. 559; Buchanan . Lee, 69 Ind. 117; Trammel v. Chipman, 74 Ind. 474; Stout v. Turner, 102 Ind. 418. Errors must be assigned by all the appellants. Woodfill v. Town, 18 Ind. 203.

A joint assignment of errors must be good as to all joining therein. Robbins v. Magee, 96 Ind. 174; Hinkle v. Shelley, 100 Ind. 88; Tucker v. Conrad, 103 Ind. 349; Walker v. Hill, 111 Ind. 223; Sparklin v. Wardens, 119 Ind. 535; Arbuckle v. Swim, 123 Ind. 208.
