1. Be itenacted by the general assembly, That section twelve
of an act amending chapter one hundred and elghty-two of the
Code of eighteen hundred and sixty, in relation to appeals, writs
of error and supersedeas, approved June 23, 1870, be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 12. Every appeal, writ of error, or supersedeas shall, when
it is to or from a judgment, decree or order of the court of any
county, be docketed in the circuit court which has jurisdiction
over such county. But when any judgment, decree or order
shall be hereafter, or shall have been heretofore rendered by any
county court, and any party deeming himself aggrieved by said
judgment, decree or order, shall apply, or shall have heretofore
applied, to a judge of a circuit court in vacation for a writ of
error, appeal or supersedeas, and the same shall be, or shall
have been denied by said judge of a circuit court in vacation,
an application may be made immediately to the supreme court
of appeals, or to any judge thereof, for a writ of error, super-
sedeas or appeal, as may be proper in the case: provided said
court would otherwise have jurisdiction thereof. And the
supreme court of appeals, or any judge thereof, may grant
such relief as may be proper in the case, and if the writ of
error, appeal or supersedeas be allowed, shall be docketed and
heard in said court of appeals. When it is toor from a judg-
ment, decree or order of any other court, it shall be docketed
in said court of appeals. The clerk of the court wherein it is
docketed shall issue a summons against the parties interested,
other than the petitioners that they may be heard, and also
issue any supersedeas which may be awarded.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
