Syllabus

<p>Justices of the peace — Judgments—Appeals nunc pro tunc — Insufficient reason.</p> <p>A petition for leave to enter an appeal nunc pro tunc from the judgment of a justice of the peace will not be allowed, where the only reason advanced in the petition is that the transcript of the justice of the peace was lost while in the custody of defendant’s agents. Such a reason is not sufficient to warrant a court in granting an appeal nunc pro tunc, as it is but an admission of the negligence of the defendant’s own employees.</p>
