      Error to the Chancery Conrt of Knox County. — R. H. Sahsom; Special Chancellor.

delivered the opinion of the Court.

In this cause complainant, Ault, desiring to have reviewed and reversed a decree rendered in the chancery conrt, just prior to the date on which the two-year period allowed for suing out a writ of error expired, presented the record to one of the judges of this court for such a writ. The case is one that falls within the appellate jurisdiction of the court of civil appeals.

By inadvertence the writ was granted. A motion has been made by the defendants to dismiss the writ of error.

It was held in Bank & Trust Co. v. Walker, 128 Tenn., 22, 157 S. W., 66, that Acts 1909, chapter 192 (Thomp. Shan. Code, section 4891a), which provides that when cases are appealed to this court which rightly go to the court of civil appeals it shall he our- duty to transfer such cases to that court, covers all cases brought up by any mode of appellate proceeding, or proceedings for the correction of errors. This, although the language of the act of 1909- mentions cases which have been “appealed” to this court. See, also, Quarry & Construction Co. v. Pundt, 136 Tenn., 328, 189 S. W., 686.

It may be true that in the case of Bank & Trust Company v. Walker, supra, the writ of error was obtained otherwise than through a judge of this court, but the principle of that ease governs here.

Motion denied, and the cause is transferred to the docket of the court of civil appeals.
