Stewart v. Lindsay

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

It is expressly enacted that the decision of the Court of Common Pleas on a certiorari to a justice of the peace under the act of 1810 shall be final and conclusive, and that no writ of error shall lie. The act of 1879 merely enlarges the jurisdiction of the justice — with the same right of appeal and certiorari as in the act of 1810 — and there is no reason why the provision as to writ of error should not be applicable.

Writ of error quashed.
