Syllabus
<p>Affidavit — Signature of Affiant. — Where the statute requires an affidavit to be made by a party praying an appeal from a justice’s' court, the certificate of the justice of the peace that the affidavit required by law was made, is sufficient evidence that the affidavit was made, although the affiant omitted to sign his name to the affidavit. The signature of the affiant is not an indispensible requisite. Rev. Code, 1871, § 1882; Redus v. Wofford, 4 S. & M., 591.</p>
