At tbe trial of this action the plaintiff gave notice in open court of her appeal from the judgment of the Superior Court to the Supreme Court. An appeal bond in the sum of $50.00 was adjudged sufficient by the judge. No application was made by the plaintiff to the judge, during the term or within five days after the adjournment of the court, for an order allowing her to appeal without filing the undertaking required by statute. C. S., 646. After the adjournment of the court, and within ten days thereafter, the assistant clerk of the Superior Court made an order which appears in the record. Tbis order is in words as follows:
“In tbe above entitled case, tbe plaintiff is allowed to maintain her appeal in forma pauperis, without giving bond for costs as required by tbe court in tbe entries of appeal.”
*632No affidavits as required by C. S., 649, appear in the record. In the absence of such affidavits, or at least of recitals in the order showing that the affidavits were duly filed, and the requisite facts found therefrom, the order, even if otherwise sufficient, was not sufficient to allow the plaintiff to appeal to this Court, without complying with the order of the judge. S. v. Harris, 114 N. C., 830, 19 S. E., 154.
'Where a party to a civil action which has been tried in the Superior Court, desires to appeal from a judgment rendered at such trial to this Court, without giving security as required by C. S., 646, he must comply strictly with the provisions of C. S., 649, which are mandatory. Otherwise this Court is without jurisdiction of the appeal, and of its own motion must dismiss the appeal. In the instant case the appeal is dismissed, for the reason that the appellant has not filed the bond required by the judge, or procured a valid order allowing her to appeal without bond.
Appeal dismissed.
