APPEAL AND ERROR.

1. From Court of Appeals of District of Columbia; law applicable.
Under the act of February 9, 1893, c. 74, § 8, 27 Stat. 436, appeals

from and writs of error to the Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia are governed by § 705, Rev. Stat., as to procedure,
and by §§ 997 and 1012, Rev. Stat., as to filing the transcript and
assignment of error as from a Circuit Court. Columbia Heights
Realty Co. v. Rudolph, 547.

2. Same; application of Rules 35 and 21; assignment of errors.
Rule 35 refers in terms only to writs of error and appeals under § 5
of the Court of Appeals Act of March 3, 1891, but by Rule 21,
it is in effect extended to every writ of error and appeal; and,
although errors may not be assigned on a writ of error to the
Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, the court is not
under obligation to dismiss the writ in case the assignment of
errors are not filed as required by §§ 997 and 1012, Rev. Stat.,
having by its rules reserved the option to notice plain error
whether assigned or not. Ib.

3. Finality of judgment in criminal case for purpose of review.
A judgment overruling a special plea of immunity under statutory

provisions, with leave to plead over, does not, in a criminal case,
terminate the whole matter in litigation, and is not a final judg-
ment to which a writ of error will lie from this court. Heike v.
United States, 423.

4. Finality of decree for purpose of review by this court.

A decree is final for the purposes of review by this court when it termi-
nates the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing to be done
except to enforce by execution what has been determined. (St.
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern R. R. Co. v. Express Co., 108
U. S. 24.) Ib.

5. From adjudication in bankruptcy.

An appeal from an adjudication in bankruptcy taken under § 25a of
the Bankruptcy Act of 1898 dismissed because taken too late.
Brady v. Bernard & Kittinger, 595.

6. What appealable.

A case cannot be brought to this court by piecemeal; it can only be
reviewed here after final judgment. Heike v. United States, 423.

7. When writ of error based on constitutional question will not lie.
A writ of error based on constitutional question will not lie unless the
controversy is a substantial one and the question open to discus-
sion. Fay v. Crozer, 455.

8. Writ of error dismissed where constitutional question foreclosed by
prior decision.

If the identical question has been determined in a suit involving a
state statute it is foreclosed although it may subsequently arise in
connection with the provision of the constitution of the State
under which the statute was enacted, and the writ of error will be
dismissed. Ib.

9. Same.

The questions involved in this case having been determined in King
v. Mullin, 171 U. S. 404; King v. West Virginia, 216 U. S. 92; the
writ of error is dismissed. Ib.
