Section 3

SEC. 3. Said Act Numbered One hundred and ninety is hereby further amended by inserting a new section between sections numbered one hundred and forty-three and one hundred and forty-four, to read as follows: ''SEC. 143 1/2. Appeals by paupers.—In case a defeated party desires to carry his action to the Supreme Court for revision and shall establish to the satisfaction of the court that he is a pauper and unable to pay the expenses of prosecuting the exceptions in the Supreme Court, and that the case is of such importance, by reason of the amount involved or the importance of the questions raised, that it ought to be revised by the Supreme Court, the judge may enter an order entitling such person to a pauper's appeal. Upon such order being made the clerk shall immediately transmit to the clerk of the Supreme Court the entire record of said cause, including the evidence taken on trial and the bill of exceptions, and the cause shall be heard in the Supreme Court upon the original record so transmitted without the same being copied or printed in the Supreme Court. The party so prosecuting a bill of exceptions may file a typewritten brief, and the same shall be considered by the Supremo Court with the original record in the case; and upon final decision the original record shall be returned to the lower court for execution in accordance with said decision. The clerk of the Supreme Court before returning the record to the lower court shall make a memorandum of all the papers in the record and a copy of the decision and keep the same on file in his office as a record of such cause. No fees for the clerk of the Supreme Court shall be charged in such causes."
