Syllabus

<p>1. Findings of fact by the Circuit Judge on appeal from a trial justice are final.</p> <p>2. Under the act of 1883 (18 Stat, 556), which provides an expeditious mode of ejecting trespassers, an appeal is allowed .to the Circuit Court. And as the summons to show cause (the only paper served) indicated a proceeding under this act, the Circuit Court had jurisdiction to entertain the respondent’s appeal.</p> <p>3. And such being the character given to the proceedings by the summons, the only question involved was whether the respondent was a trespasser.</p>
