THE ASTON MOTOR CAR COMPANY vs. THOMAS MANNION.

A re-enactment of certain portions only of an existing statute, in an amending Act which purports to be a substitute for the former, effectually repeals the provisions of the original Act which are omitted from the substitute. The right of appeal from the City Court of Bridgeport to the Court of Common Pleas, given by § 119 of the city charter (15 Special Laws, p. 493), was repealed by the omission of that provision from the Act of 1917 (17 Special Laws, p. 1005) amending that section of the charter.

PER CURIAM.

The amendment of 1917 substituted § 119, as therein recited, for the section as it had previously existed. Those portions of the original section which were omitted from the section in its new form, ceased to be the law and were as effectually repealed as it was possible to accomplish a repeal. The defendant's attempted appeal was, therefore, without authority, and conferred upon the Court of Common Pleas no jurisdiction over the case.
