delivered the opinion of the court.
The plaintiff sued the defendant before a justice of the peace on an account for rent due. Judgment having been rendered by the justice against the defendant, he appealed to the Law Commissioner’s Court, where, on motion of the plaintiff, the appeal was dismissed because of the supposed want of jurisdiction of the last named court, and the defendant brings the case here by writ of error.
The lower court therefore erred in dismissing the appeal, and for this cause its judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
