    SUGGS v. SUGGS'S Executors,
    Nov. 1794.
    After granting an appeal the inferior court have no further jurisdiction in the cause.
    Appeal-The Appeal was brought up by the appellee, within 15 days preceding the term, and now Overton for the appellee, moved for an affirmance of the judgment below, with the addition of 12 1-2 per cent interest, and double costs, agreeably to act of assembly, for failing to bring up the appeal, and prosecuting the same with effect.
    
      This being a new case, the court requested it to be aruged. No instance of the kind had occurred, west of Cumberland-Mountain.
    A practice before this time had obtained for parties cast in the county court to appeal, give bond and security, and there drop the appeal, making it the mean of delay only.
    It had been conceived, that the county-court still retained the cause, and that if the appellant did not at the next succeeding Superior Court, in due time, carry up his appeal, the appellee could not; and the county-court, might after that time issue execution which they did.
   Sed per curiam.

After the appeal is entered in the court below, the authority of that court over the cause, ceases. If the appellant fail to bring it up, the appellee may.

The motion is proper, let it have its effect.
