“As the pleadings constitute part of the record, it is indispensable that they be filed. In some of the codes they must be filed at the institution of the action; in others, by or before the first day of the term; in others, at or before the trial. They must be used in making the ‘judgment roll,’ and in the practice of each State (not here considered) procedure is provided to procure filing.” Edwin E. Bryant, The Law of Pleading Under the Codes of Civil Procedure 179 (2d ed. 1899).
