fwiw – An appeal is a process of civil law origin, and removes a cause entirely, subjecting the fact, as well as the law, to review and re-trial. A writ of error is a process of common law origin; and it removes nothing for re-examination, but the law.
At common law the process for reviewing the judgments of the law courts was the writ of error. The appeal, which was borrowed from the civil law, and was unknown to the common law, was the appropriate method of obtaining a review of the decisions of the equity, admiralty and ecclesiastical courts.
