Syllabus

<p>1. An action brought by a borough before a justice of the peace, under § 7, act of April 15, 1835, P. L. 292, to recover the penalty provided by an ordinance prohibiting an act not an indictable or public offence, is a civil action within the provisions of § 22, act of March 20, 1810, 5 Sm. L. 171.</p> <p>2. Wherefore, the judgment of the Court of Common Pleas, reversing the proceedings before the justice, in such a case, is final, and no writ of error to the Supreme Court (or appeal, under the act of May 9, 1889, P. L. 158), shall issue thereon: Spicer v. Rees, 5 R. 119 ; Penna. Pulp Co. v Stoughton, 106 Pa. 458.</p>
