Porter v. Rapine.
    A creditor may give a credit upon his account so as to give jurisdiction to a justice of the peace.
    Appeal from a justice of the peace. Rapine had a demand on Porter for $26.85,; he gave credit for $6.85 and warranted Porter for $20, and obtained judgment for $20 and costs. Porter appealed and contended that Rapine had no right to release part of the debt so as to give jurisdiction to a justice of the peace. It did not appear that he objected to the credit before the justice.
   The Court

(Fitziiuoh, J., absent,)

affirmed the judgment.
