L. 1125, 2 Stewart’s Purdon 2194, providing for appeals from judgments of magistrates in actions for the recovery of real estate, is not repealed by the Act of March 27, 1913, P. L. 17, defining the jurisdiction of the County Court of Allegheny County.</p> <p>An appeal from the judgment of a magistrate, in an action for the recovery of real estate, is properly taken to the court of common pleas.</p> <p>Statutes — Repeals—Repeals by implication.</p> <p>A discrepancy between the different parts of a system of legislation on the same general subject will not result in a repeal by implication. There must be conflict between different acts on the same specific subject. Repeal of statutes by implication is not favored and the presumption is always against an intention to repeal if there is not unrecoverable repugnancy between the provisions of the two acts.</p>
