Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Heydenfeldt
Heydenfeldt, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.
Murray, C. J., and Bryan, J., concurred.
The judgment rendered by the Justice of the Peace is for $209 IT, with interest at three per cent, per month. This is beyond the jurisdiction of the Justice as we have determined at this term in the case of Zander v. Coe. The judgment was therefore properly reversed by the County Court, but it should have dismissed the case.
The reversal of the County Court is affirmed, and the cause dismissed from the consideration of the Justice.
