§ 68. Motion for new trial in justice’s court necessary to give jurisdiction on appeal. Under the act of August 18, 1870 [General Laws 15th Leg. p. 172, sec. 3], a county court can only acquire jurisdiction of a case from justice’s court after a motion for new trial made and overruled and notice of appeal given in open court in the justice’s court.
