In the circuit court, in such cases, the cases shall be docketed with the appellant or appellants as plaintiffs and the adversary parties as defendants, and where there are several appellants on questions of damages, the circuit court may consolidate the causes and try them together, if practicable, making proper findings or orders as to each; and in appeals from orders of the county court made at the same session where there are several appellants, at their request only one (1) transcript shall be made out by the court clerk.
