105 So. 519 | Miss. | 1925
We think it was error to sustain the jurisdiction in the justice court under the facts stated. There was no jurisdiction in the justice court to entertain suit, and it was not too late to raise the question in the circuit court. The circuit court had no greater jurisdiction than the justice of the peace had, and if the justice court had no jurisdiction the circuit court acquired none. Cain v. Simpson,
The judgment will therefore be reversed and the cause dismissed.
Reversed and dismissed.
