Chunn v. . Jones

Opinion of the Court

*252 Ruffin, C. J.

The two motions of the plaintiff were entirely inconsistent. The appeal was dismissed at his instance for the want of jurisdiction, and the defendant acquiesced therein. It necessarily followed, that there could not be judgment for the debt, since that would imply jurisdiction and a decision on the merits.

Per Curiam. Judgment affirmed.
