Arundale v. Moore

The record shows this suit originated before a justice of -the peace, and that it was removed to the circuit court by appeal. The circuit court rendered a judgment final by default, against the defendant, for an amount exceeding twenty dollars, without a statement, or any other pleading, disclosing the plaintiff’s cause of action. This was error, for which the judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded. — (Revised Code, 2773; Reaves’ Digest, § 46, p. 67 — § 48, p, 67.
