His Honor being of opinion with the defendant, set aside the verdict and entered a nonsuit, from which the plaintiff appealed.
DANIEL, J.,
after stating the case as above, proceeded: The first judgment being for a larger sum than a justice of the peace had jurisdiction of it is void, and no action can be maintained upon it.
