ERROR — JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
    [Hamilton (1st) Circuit Court,
    February, 1903.]
    Swing and Jelke, JJ.
    Roller v. Esman.
    Failure of Common Pleas to Comply With Sec. 6733 Rev. Stat. Error.
    Under the provisions of Sec. 6733 Rev. Stat. a judgment of the common pleas court reversing a judgment of a justice of the peace on error which does not retain the case for trial is erroneous, and the circuit court will reverse the judgment to that extent and remand the case for trial and final judgment.
    Gideon C. Wilson, for plaintiff in error.
    John A. Deasy, contra. ’
   SWING, J.

Section Rev. Stat. provides that when the proceedings of a justice of the peace are taken on error to the court of common pleas, and in such action the judgment of such justice is reversed, the court shall render judgment of reversal, and the subject of the action shall be retained by the court for trial and final judgment as in cases on appeal.

The judgment of the court in this case was simply one of reversal and for costs, and the court did not order the case retained for trial in said court. In not rendering -such judgment the court erred, and to that extent said judgment is reversed and said court is hereby ordered to render judgment in said action, retaining said action in said court for trial, and final judgment and a special mandate is ordered to issue to said court to carry this judgment into execution.
