Syllabus

<p>Jurisdiction—Agreement.—-The district court can not enforce by its judgment an agreement of different defendants in different suits, having the same plaintiff, before a justice of the peace, to the effect that the judgment rendered in one ease, appealed to the district court, should apply to all the other cases which were not appealed. Placing the unappealed cases on the docket of the district court by consent did not call into exercise its appellate jurisdiction, and it could not exercise over them original jurisdiction.</p>
