In view of the briefs filed in this case by appellant, this court could, with propriety, have declined to consider any of the assignments of error. It was not contemplated under the new rules for briefing that an indiscriminate mass of propositions and statements should be copied into briefs without reference to the assignments, and devolve upon appellate courts strenuous efforts to co-ordinate and correlate them. The brief should decrease, and not increase, the labor of a court; it should assist, and not burden, the court in which it is filed, and this can, at least to a limited extent, be attained even under the cumbersome rules of 1922 promulgated by the Supreme Court. For a clear discussion as to what a brief should contain we refer to an opinion of this court prepared by Associate Justice Edward W. Smith, and on this day handed down in the case of Terry v. Williamson, 251 S.W. 813. The judgment is affirmed.
