Syllabus

<p>Courts — Allegheny County Court — Certiorari to Common Pleas —Appeals.</p> <p>Under the Act of May 5, 1911, P. L. 198, creating the County Court of Allegheny County, defining its jurisdiction, and prescribing the practice and procedure therein, either a certiorari or an appeal may be taken from its judgment to the Common Pleas. On a certiorari the Common Pleas cannot review alleged errors in the admission or rejection of evidence, but only errors appearing on the face of the record.</p> <p>Doubted whether the Act of April 22, 1905, P. L. 286, authorizing courts to certify evidence and enter judgment upon the whole record, applies to the County Court of Allegheny County created by a later act; but even if it did it would have no application to a case where there has been no prayer for a binding direction by the trial judge to the jury.</p>
