to which the state was a party before the court of appeals.
The sheriff of Travis County should furnish one of his
deputies to attend before the court of appeals during its ses-

not to exceed three dollars per day, to be paid by the state
treasurer.
Appeals and writs of error might be taken to the court of
appeals, in cases over which it might have appellate jurisdic-
tion, in the same manner that appeals were allowed to the
supreme court.
The judges of the court of appeals should choose a presiding
judge for the court, from their number, at such times as they
thought proper, and all writs and processes issuing from the
court should bear test in the name of the presiding judge and
the seal of the court.

the room then occupied as an office by the attorney general,
in the supreme court building, which should be fitted up and
supplied with proper furniture, books of record, and stationery.

The Legislature also passed laws providing for the pay-
ment of the salaries of the judges and other expenses con-
nected with the court of appeals; the publication of certain
decisions of the court; the appointment of a bailiff; and the
appointment of a deputy clerk.'"
