Court of Appeals of Tennessee

1Opinion of the CourtHeiskell, J.

This is an appeal from the action of the circuit court of Monroe county, overruling the motion of the Jones Motor Company to (dismiss the petition for certiorari filed by J. H. Carr to bring up a case from a magistrate’s court. The sole question is whether or not said petition for certiorari and the proof thereon shows sufficient reason for not appealing. It must be conceded that the petition shows merits, but it is contended that the proceeding shows no such reason by Carr, for not appealing from the judgment rendered against him by the Justice of the Peace, as would support a certiorari.
