<p>Substance — justice’s transcript — errors—appeal from a non suit.</p> <p>Where a justice upon an appeal certified his transcript as containing the substance of his proceedings, it is sufficient on a writ of error.</p> <p>An appeal lies from a judgment of non suit rendered by a justice.</p>

Decided 1832-08-15

BY THE COURT.

¶1The case below was an appeal taken from a non suit entered before a justice of the peace. The transcript filed was of the substance of the proceedings before the justice, and the Court of Common Pleas sustained the appeal. An appeal, by the law in force when this appeal was taken, lay from any judgment of a justice, and embraced a judgment of non suit. The substance is all that is looked to on error.

¶2The judgment is affirmed with costs.

¶3Appeal lies from non suit: 3 W. L. M. 141, 146, 147; distinguished under different statute, Ferrall v. Bluffton Lodge, 31 O. S. 463, 465.
