The plaintiffs were sued before a Justice of the Peace, and had judgment rendered against them, in favor of John Keesacker, from which judgment they appealed to the Circuit Court. At the trial of the cause in the Circuit Court, the appellee appeared, and moved to have the appeal dismissed, for an informality in the appeal bond. The Court adjudged the bond a good one, and overruled the motion made by the appellee, but the Court thereupon required the appellants to prove, that due noiice had been given to the appellee of the appeal, and for want of such proof, dismissed the ajipeal; to reinstate which, the plaintiffs have prayed for a mandamus. A rale to show cause was served on the Circuit Court, at its last July term, to
Let the cause, therefore, be remanded to the Circuit Court, who is hereby commanded to reinstate the appeal of the plaintiffs, and to proceed therein in conformity with this opinion.
