Syllabus

<p>1. Appeal to district court.— In counties where the civil jurisdiction of the county courts is abolished and vested in the district courts, appeals from judgments rendered in the courts of justices of the peace may be taken to the district courts.</p> <p>2. Same — Constitutional law.—Sec. 3, art. Y, Const, of 1876, provides that the supreme court shall have appellate jurisdiction only, and which shall extend to civil cases of which the district courts have original or appellate jurisdiction. That the district court has appellate jurisdiction over a case, is sufficient to confer jurisdiction upon the supreme court on appeal in such case.</p>
