Section 6355. Limitations of appeals, writs of error, or superse-

cree, or order, or three months if the decree appealed from was a de-
cree refusing a bill of review to a final decree rendered ' more than six
months prior thereto.

No such process shall issue upon an appeal, writ of error, or super-
sedeas allowed to a final judgment, order, or finding of the State cor-

delivered to such clerk, or before such bond is given as is required to
be given before an appeal, writ of error, or supersedeas takes effect;

judge or to the court, or the filing with the clerk in vacation or in term

required by law, to the clerk of the appellate court by the judge grant-
ing the same, or the court, as aforesaid, shall be excluded from the
computation of the said period of six months or three months, as the
case may be.
