Catón, O. J.

There was no jurisdiction in the ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‍justice of the peace in this cause to evict the party. That could only be done ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‍by an action of ejectment. One of two things must exist to give jurisdiction in ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‍an action of forcible entry and detainer, or forcible detainer. There must be either a ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‍forcible entry, or the relation of landlord and tenant must exist. Neither is shown to exist ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‍in this case.

The judgment must be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
