JUSTICES OF THE PEACE, § 179 — perfecting appeal to circuit court. In action of forcible detainer, defendant could not contend that circuit court did not acquire jurisdiction of appeal from justice of the peace because transcript from justice failed to show that plaintiff prayed an appeal or justice fixed amount of appeal bond, where appeal bond was in fact entered into by plaintiff and his surety, and was approved by justice within statutory period, and defendant asked for jury trial in circuit court, which amounted to a general appearance.
