State v. Schuermann

Adams, Judge,

delivered tbe opinion of tbe court.

This was a prosecution commenced before a Justice of the Peace against the defendant, for disturbing the prosecutor’s family and neighborhood. The defendant was tried • and convicted before the Justice, and took an appeal to the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction, where the defendant was again tried on the original information and convicted.

He then moved for a new trial and in arrest upon the ground that the Justice of the Peace had no jurisdiction. These motions were overruled and the defendant has appealed to this court.

It may be conceded…
