Eason v. Smith
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Eason v. Smith, 8 Serg. & Rawle 343 (Pa. 1822)
Eason v. Smith
Opinion of the Court
The only question in this case is, whether an action lies before a justice of the peace, to receive the balance (under one hundred dollars) due on a judgment in the Court of Common Pleas. The jurisdiction of justices of the peace, is founded altogether on Acts of Assembly. No Act has been produced giving jurisdiction in a case of this kind. Consequently, the justice before whom this suit
Judgment affirmed.
