Mims v. State
Alabama Court of Appeals · Decided December 16, 1919 · Samford
84 So. 394; 17 Ala. App. 276; 1919 Ala. App. LEXIS 250 (Southern Reporter)

Mims v. State

Opinion of the Court

SAMFORD, J.

The affidavit was made before the probate judge, and warrant was issued and made returnable to the county court. There was no judgment in the county court, no appeal bond, no demand for a jury; in fact, nothing appears in the record to give the circuit court jurisdiction. For this reason the judgment must be reversed. Haynes v. State, 5 Ala. App. 167, 59 South. 325.

The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
