Division B

APPEAL AND ERROR. If notice to stenographer to transcribe notes was given after expiration of statutory ten days, notes will be stricken on motion; it is not competent, without filing notice to show another notice to transcribe notes was written, on different date than that filed with clerk (Code 1930, section 725).

Where under section 725 of the Code of 1930, the appellant files with the clerk a copy of notice to the stenographer to transcribe the notes, and the method of serving it, such notice becomes a part of the record, and if it shows that the notice was given after the expiration of ten days the notes will be stricken from the record on motion. It is not competent, without filing notice with the clerk, to show that another letter was written on a different date from that filed with the clerk. What effect the filing of two letters would have is not decided.

OPINION

Ethridge, P.J.

This is a motion to strike the stenographer's notes from the record for several reasons, and, among others, that the notice given the stenographer to transcribe and file his notes was shown by the record to have been given more than ten days after the day of the adjournment of the court in which the evidence was taken, and other parts because certain pages constitute a brief in favor of the appellant and are improperly embraced in the record.
