The proviso in the Act of 1785 (Rev., ch. 233, sec. 1), requiring the attorney of the appellant to certify the reasons for the appeal, does not relate to actions of debt.
It was determined by the Court that the proviso in the Act of 1785, 2, 548, relates only to the cases mentioned in that act, and operates as an exception to that act only; therefore, as from actions of debt, an appeal lay by 2, 1777, 2, 82, 348, it was not in the purview of this act.
NOTE. — This proviso was afterwards repealed, 1 Rev. Stat., ch. 1, sec. 2, and ch. 4.
