What did the court decide?
The Regular Second Appeal was dismissed for non-prosecution: though the matter was passed over and called again there was no representation for the appellants; at the sixth listing for orders on office-objection non-compliance, the objections remained uncomplied and the imposed cost unpaid despite sufficient earlier opportunity even on payment of cost, indicating the appellants were not diligently pursuing the appeal.
