Morrison Waite,
Scarborough v. Pargoud — Opinion of the Court
“ Norris, 11 How. 207, it was decided (Chief Justice TANEY, speaking for the court) that 'the writ of error is not brought, in the legal meaning of the term, until it is filed in the court which rendered the judgment. It is the filing of the writ that removes the record from the inferior to the appellate court, and the period of limitation prescribed by the act of congress must be calculated accordingly.' This case is cited with approval in Mussina v. ”
