Ex parte Pierce

Opinion of the Court

Which the Court refused, observing that the term actions,” in the statutes granting appeals, was never understood to apply to complaints, and processes not according to the course of the common law; and that in this case, moreover, the statute contemplated farther proceedings, from time to time, in the Court of Common Pleas, to increase or diminish the amount assessed, for which purpose it was necessary that the record should remain in that court.
