ASSIGNMENT OF CAURES FOR HEARING. 1.

[Adopted May 21, 1900.]

1.

APPEALS AND NEW PLEADINGS. An appeal to the circuit court of appeals shall be taken by filing in the office of the clerk of the district court, and serving on the proctor of the adverse party, a notice signed by the appellant or his proctor

that the party appeals to the circuit court of appeals from the decree
complained of.

The appeal shall be heard on the pleadings and evidence in the dis-
trict court, unless the appellate court, on motion, otherwise order.

[Note.—This rule so far modifies rule 11 of the general rules (see page xxvii) that a petition for an appeal and the allowance thereof is not required in an admiralty case, nor is the assignment of errors required to be filed with notice of appeal. The assignment of errors must, however, be sent up to the appellate court with the apostles, as required in rule 4 of the admiralty rules.]
