Opinion:
JENKINS, J.
This is a suit for $169.05. There is nothing in the record to show that it was ever tried in a justice court. The amount involved is below the original jurisdiction of the county court.
For the reason that it does not appear that the county court had jurisdiction to try this ease, the appeal herein is dismissed.
Dismissed.
