court, being satisfied of the filing, service of the motion and
brief, and that the brief has been made in conformity with the rules

filed in writing thereto, if any has been filed, may make such

practicable to the rules prescribed for framing briefs.

made and filed in the court, specifying the nature of the case,

First, cases which relate to the administration of the government,
or of general public interest, or appeals or suits of review
in administration cases, or cases where injunctions have been
granted in the court below and have been perpetuated or have
been dissolved, and by appeal have been kept in force.
Second, cases in which the attorneys will agree upon the points
of law or of fact involved in the record, make a clear and succinct
statement of the same, with such other matters in connection
therewith as will enable the court readily to understand the case,
and will make briefs citing the statutes and other authorities upon
the points agreed on to be at issue between them, and will have
such agreed statement, together with their briefs, printed in
pamphlet form, so as to furnish the justices of the Supreme
Court and the opposite party with copies thereof. This rule will
supersede and stand in place of the rule of this court adopted
at Galveston on the 18th of January, 1877.
