ACTIONS.

1. Denomination; determination of.

How an action brought in the state court shall be denominated is for
the state court to determine. Thomas v. Taylor, 73.

2. Timeliness of filing suit to restrain enforcement of municipal ordinance
prescribing penalties.

Where, as in this case, the provisions imposing penalties for non-

compliance are separable from the ordinance, it is time enough
to file a bill when the attempt is made to apply the penalties
oppressively; they cannot be made the basis of a bill until then.
Western Union Telegraph Co. v. Richmond, 160.

APPEAL AND ERROR.

1. Direct appeal from Circuit Court; time for perfecting where decree
supplies certificate.

While the jurisdictional certificate must be issued during the term at

which the question is decided, if the certificate is supplied by a

decree in due form showing all that is required by the certificate,
the appeal may be perfected within two years, as are other ap-
peals. (Excelsior Water Power Co. v. Pacific Bridge Co., 185
U. S. 282.) Herndon-Carter Co. v. Norris & Co., 496.

2. Direct appeal from Circuit Court; sufficiency of presentation of ques-
tion of jurisdiction.

In this case the record shows that there was but one final order or
decree which at the same time quashed the service of the sum-
mons and dismissed the case for want of jurisdiction; and an
appeal from such a decree brings to this court the question of
jurisdiction. Ib.

3. From territorial courts; questions brought up.

On appeals from the courts of the Territories, questions of weight and
credibility of evidence are not for the consideration of this court.
Title Guaranty Co. v. Nichols, 346.

4. From Supreme Court of Porto Rico; rules governing.

Under § 35 of the Porto Rican act of April 12, 1900, 31 Stat. 85, c. 191,
writs of error to and appeals from final decisions of the Supreme
Court for the District of Porto Rico are governed by the rules
that govern writs of error to and appeals from Supreme Courts of
the Territories, which confine this court to determining whether
the court below erred in deducing its conclusions of law from the
facts as found, and to reviewing errors committed as to admis-
sion or rejection of testimony upon proper exception preserved.
(Young v. Amy, 171 U. S. 179.) Gonzales v. Buist, 126.

5. From Supreme Court of Porto Rico; scope of agreed statement or find-
ings of fact.

On appeal from the Supreme Court of a Territory the agreed state-
ment or findings must be of the ultimate facts; for if they are
merely, as in this case, a recital of testimony or evidentiary facts,
there is nothing brought to this court for consideration, and the
judgment must be affirmed (Glenn v. Fant, 134 U. S. 398.) Ib.

6. Rejection on appeal of theory as to issues assented to by trial court and
parties.
Where the parties, with the assent of the court, unite in trying a case
on the theory that a particular matter is within the issues, that
theory cannot be rejected when the case is in the appellate court
for review. San Juan Light & Transit Co. v. Requena, 89.
