Nov 29, 1926
CRIMINAL LAW. Jurisdiction did not attach where justice of the peace failed to attach certificate of record.
Trial court held without jurisdiction of case to which justice of the peace whom it was originally tried failed to attach certificate of record.
SMITH C.J., delivered the opinion of the court.
The justice of the peace before whom this case was originally tried failed to attach his certificate to the record thereof filed in the court below; consequently, that court, as the attorney-general admits, was without jurisdiction to proceed with the trial thereof.
Reversed and remanded.
