To adopt that doctrine, would render almost useless an intermediate court between justices of the peace and this tribunal, and would destroy the beneficial effects derivable from an appeal; since we only try upon the record, and the court below upon the merits. This court can only entertain an appeal or writ of error from a court of record, which a justice\u2019s court is not. Affirmed.",

Where it does not appear that exceptions were taken, the appellate court, which tries the case on the record alone, will presume the judgment to be correct.\n2. The superior court can only entertain a writ of error issued to, or an appeal from, a court of record.\n3. The court of a justice of the peace is not a court of record.\nApril, 1823.\u2014\nAppeal determined before Benjamin Johnson and Andrew Scott, judges."
