Peters v. Parsons
18 Johns. 140
N.Y. Sup. Ct.1820Check Treatment.The act of April 10, 1818, which extends the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace to fifty dollars, and gives the party against whom a judgment is rendered for above 2s dollars, an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas, refers only to judgments rendered on a verdict, or without a jury trial, upon an issue in fact; not to cases where the justice gives judgment on a demurrer, or issue at law. This is evident from the provisions contained'in the 18th and 19th sections, as to the proceedings on the appeal. The motion must therefore be denied.
Motidn denied.
