Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Forcible Entry and Detainer — Jurisdiction of City Court. Where a city court, having the jurisdiction formerly vested in justices of the peace, acting without power, makes a void order purporting to certify a case of forcible entry and detainer to the district court for trial, the jurisdiction in legal contemplation remains in the city court, and its exercise of jurisdiction may be resumed without the issuance or service of new process. ■</p> <p>2. - Complaint — Hules of Pleading in Justice’s Court. The strict and technical rules of pleading are not applied to complaints in actions of forcible entry and detainer before justices of the peace.</p> <p>3. - Sufficient Complaint. Ordinarily, a complaint setting forth a charge of an unlawful and forcible entry and detainer in the language of the statute will be sufficient.</p> <p>4. Jury and Jurors — Special Findings Not Inconsistent. Special findings of a jury may be viewed and interpreted in the light of the testimony and other proceedings, and those under consideration, when so viewed, are found not to be inconsistent with each other or with the general verdict'.</p>
