Plaintiff in error sued defendant in error before a justice of the peace 'and caused an attachment to be issued against the defendant’s property.
The defendant moved to discharge the attachment and, his motion being overruled, filed a petition in error in the common pleas court to reverse said ruling, under favor of Section 6524, Revised Statutes.
The common pleas court reversed the ruling of the justice of the peace and discharged the 'attachment, without retaining the case for trial and final judgment, as in cases of appeal, as provided in Section 6733, Revised Statutes.
We think this was error. Section 6726, Revised Statutes, provides, that “when a judgment or final order is reversed, either in whole or in part, in the common pleas court, the circuit court or the Supreme Court, the court reversing the same shall pro-' ceed to render such judgment as the court below should have rendered, or remand the cause to the court below for such judgment, ” but the last clause in the section reads: “but this section shall not apply to judgments of justices of the peace.”
There is no other statute authorizing the common jileas court, upon reversing the judgment of a justice of the peace, to either render the judgment the justice should have rendered or to remand the cause to the justice for further proceedings, so we hold that Section 6733 applies to error predicated to a ruling on a motion to discharge an attachment the same as to error proceedings generally, from a justice of the peace. This con-, elusion finds some support in the cases of Bradley v. Wacker, 13 C. C., 530, and Tombow v. Haskins, 15 C. C., 656.
Evidently the point here made was not called +o tbe attention of the court in the cases of Hoyman v. Beverstock, 8 C. C., 473, and Seville v. Wagner, 46 O. S., 52.
For error in rendering final judgment instead-of retaining tin-case for trial, as upon appeal, that part of the judgment of the common pleas court is.reversed and the cause remanded to that court for further proceedings.
