It is assigned as error, that the court gave judgment for rent of the premises in question; and we are of opinion, that the objection to the judgment is well taken. In the complaint before the justice, there was no claim for rent. That claim was first made and allowed on the trial of the appeal in the District Court, which court had not jurisdiction of that subject-matter, and was forbidden to entertain it on the trial of the appeal. (Hart. Dig., Art. 714.)
Reversed and reformed.
