Syllabus

<p>1. Appeals-^from, justices of the peace. The party who recovers a judgment before a justice of the peace may take an appeal from such judgment.</p> <p>2. Same—cause heard de novo. In the circuit court the cause is heard de novo, and as that court, on appeals from magistrates’ courts, does not sit as a court of errors, the doctrine that accepting the benefit of a judgment or decree is a release of errors, has no application to such appeals.</p> <p>3. Evidence—notice of not required. A party bringing suit before a justice of the peace is not bound to notify the opposite party what evidence he will introduce at the trial</p>
