¶1By the Court;
¶2Tbe plaintiff claims tbat in filing a transcript in pursuance of tbe statute tbat regulates appeals, be has also literally complied with section' 50, which provides for docketing judgments rendered by justices of tbe peace in tbe judgment docket of tbe circuit *35coart; and that therefore he is entitled to execution issuing out of this court. He, as respondent, claims, that having given a counter undertaking, he is, according to the spirit and intent of the law, entitled to an execution as if no appeal had been taken; and that if he was entitled to an execution issued out of the justice’s court before the transcript was filed, upon filing it he becomes entitled to one issuing out oí this court.
¶3I do not think it is necessary to pass upon the various questions raised and argued, as to the sufficiency of the counter undertaking. I do not think it was the intent of the Legislature that the transcript on appeal should serve the double purpose of bringing the case here for a trial de novo and of standing as the record of a final judgment, to be enforced in pursuance of section 50.
¶4Nor is the proceeding already taken a literal compliance with section 50. This transcript is required to be filed with the clerk of this court, while section 50 requires the transcript that shall serve as a basis of a judgment lien, and of an execution, to be filed with the county cleric.
¶5It is true that both these offices are united in the same person; and there is but a technical difference in this respect in the modes of proceeding. But this is sufficient to prevent a course of proceeding that claims no greater merit than that of being a compliance with the letter of the statute, while, it evidently disregards its spirit and intent.
¶6The motion should be granted.
