Syllabus
<p>If, upon the trial of an appeal from the judgment of a justice of the peace, the cause is tried upon its merits, without regard to the amount of the plaintiff’s claim or of the defendant’s set-off, it is too late, when all the testimony is before the jury, for the plaintiff to ask to have the defendant’s evidence of set-off withdrawn from the jury, on the ground that its amount exceeds the jurisdiction of the justice.</p>
