King v. Dougherty

By JUDGE CRENSHAW. The question arising from the record, is, had the plaintiff a right to relinquish all his debt except fifty dollars, so as to bring the case within the jurisdiction of the magistrate? This question has been settled in the affirmative by a former adjudication of this Court. The judgment must therefore be reversed, and the proper judgment rendered here. In this opinion the Court are unanimous. Judge Saffold not sitting.
