Over v. Moss.
Landlord and Tenant.—Practice.—New Trial as of Right.—A tenant holding over against his landlord or his grantee is not entitled to a new trial, as a matter of right, in an action commenced before a justice of the peace and on appeal decided in the circuit court in favor of the landlord’s possession.
APPEAL from the Green Circuit Court.

Opinion:
Downey,
J.—The only question in this case is, whether the defendant, in an action by a landlord or his grantee against his tenant holding over, commenced before a justice of the peace, appealed to the circuit court, and judgment rendered there against the defendant, can have a new trial, as a matter of right, according to section 601, p. 283, 2 G. & H.
jf. D. Alexander, for appellant.
M. Hanna, for appellee.
We are of the opinion that the section referred to does not apply to such cases, and that consequently a new trials as of right, cannot be had.
The judgment is affirmed, with costs.
