v.
GRIFFITH
Mr. Chief Justice Fuller delivered the opinion of the court.
The motion by appellant for leave to dismiss its appeal in this cause is accompanied by certain correspondence which is referred to as stating the grounds on which the motion is made. We cannot be called upon to examine into these papers for the purpose' of arriving at a conclusion as to whether the dismissal is justifiable or not, and must decline to permit them to be filed and to thereby leave it to be inferred hereafter that we may have acted upon them. Appellant undoubtedly has the right to dismiss its appeal with the leave of the court, and may renew .its motion to that effect unaccompanied by other matter, and the order of dismissal will be entered.
Mr. Assistant Attorney General Mav/ry thereupon withdrew the papers, and renewed the motion without' them, and the appeal was ordered to be
Dismissed.
