Davis v. Speiden

104 U.S. 83

APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT

OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Syllabus

1. The rule is administrative, rather than jurisdictional, that no bill of review shall be admitted unless the party first obeys and performs the decree, and "enters into a recognizance, with sureties, to satisfy the costs and damages for the delay if it be found against him."

2. No special license of the court is required to file a bill of review for the correction of errors on the face of the record.
