Murphy v. Jett

Opinion by

Judge Pryor :

By reason of the bond executed by the appellants they became liable for the debt and costs. When suit was instituted on the bond *736the amount of the debt was $16 and the cost $39. These two sums constituted the claim of the appellee, and for that amount the judgment was rendered in the common pleas court. While the extent of appellants’ liability was the sum fixed in their bond, yet the appellee claimed more and obtained a judgment for it.

/. W. Lewis, for appellants. W. L. Jett, for appellee.

By the Act of March, 1876, the circuit courts were given exclusive jurisdiction…
