delivered the opinion of the court.

This record discloses no appeal bond from ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍the court of the justice of the peace, nor any record of the proceedings in that court, and so the circuit court was without ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍jurisdiction to entertain the appeal, and therefore the appeal to this court must be dismissed. Gardner v. Railroad, 78 Miss., 643, 29 South., 470. But, in the language of the ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍opinion in that case, “we will rein*185state the case if appellant will, by certiorari> complete his record, but on the condition that the appellant shall ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍pay all the costs of the appeal to this court.”

Appeal dismissed.
