RULE XII, AS AMENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1897. Three copies of the printed case shall be served by the plaintiff in error or appellant on the opposite party at least forty days before the day set for the argument of the cause. RULE XIV, AS AMENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1897. The brief of the appellant or plaintiff in error must be served on the opposite party at least fifteen days, and that of the respondent or defendant in error at least five days, before the cause is called for argument. Failure by a party to comply with this rule will entitle the opposite party (if not himself in default) to a continuance for the term, with twenty-five dollars costs; provided, however, the court may, in its discretion, direct that the cause stand for argument in its order. Either party may, without service thereof, submit a supplemental brief on the argument, but the same must be strictly confined to matter in reply to the brief on the other side. (45 Wis. 519; 46 Wis. 703; 50 Wis. and 70 Wis.) No brief will be received or filed after the close of the argument in any case except in cases where permission has been obtained at or before the argument of the case for special cause. MEMORANDUM. Owing to the illness of the official reporter this volume (like volumes 29, 69, 79, and a large part of volume 94) has been prepared and conducted through the press by James Simmons, Esquire, of the Walworth county bar.
