Over v. Moss

41 Ind. 463 | Ind. | 1872

Downey,

J.—The only question in this case is, whether the defendant, in an action by a landlord or his grantee against his tenant holding over, commenced before a justice of the peace, appealed to the circuit court, and judgment rendered there against the defendant, can have a new trial, as a matter of right, according to section 601, p. 283, 2 G. & H.

jf. D. Alexander, for appellant. M. Hanna, for appellee.

We are of the opinion that the section referred to does not apply to such cases, and that consequently a new trials as of right, cannot be had.

The judgment is affirmed, with costs.
