DOCKET NO.

No. 25541.

Attorney(S)

Weir Triplett, for appellant. The justice of the peace having failed to file with the circuit court a certified copy of the record of the proceedings had before him, that court was without jurisdiction; and that being true, this court is also without jurisdiction. See Hattiesburg v. Rogers, 99 Miss. 639; and Burrough v. State, 107 So. 27. We think, therefore, that this cause should be reversed and remanded. J.L. Byrd, Assistant Attorney-General, for the state. In view of the holdings of the court in City of Hattiesburg v. Rogers, 99 Miss. 639, and Burroughs v. State, 107 So. 27, we see no way to save this case for the state, and it appears to us that the cause should be reversed.
