Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., Taylor v. Leesnitzer — Opinion of the Court
“ It was said that if the court should confine itself to the record, the presumption was that the title of the appeal followed the obligation of the bond. On this ground the court, with expressions of regret, considered itself not at liberty to entertain a motion for leave to file an additional bond.We generally are slow to overrule the decisions of courts other than courts of the United States upon matters of local practice. ”
