        "text": "Battle, J.\nW. T. Young brought an action before a justice of the peace of Union County against the Rock Island, Arkansas & Louisiana Railroad Company to recover damages on account of the killing of a cow. On the first of December, 1906, the justice of the peace rendered judgment against the defendant for $70, there being no appearance nor answer of \u25a0the defendant. On the third day of December, 1906, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company prayed an appeal from the judgment against the defendant, filing the affidavit of one of its attorneys and stating therein that it was aggrieved by the judgment against it. On the 21st day of March; 1907, the circuit court rendered judgment against the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company for $80, and it appealed to this court.\nThe Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company, not being a party to the action, could not take an appeal from the judgment. To make it a party to the action by an appeal to the circuit court would be an attempt to institute a new action, which can not be done. \u201cOn appeal from a justice of the peace, the circuit court acquires such jurisdiction as the justice of the peace had, and can render only such judgments\u201d as the justice could or should have rendered. Woolverton v. Freeman, 77 Ark. 234. The circuit court could try the same cause of action, and no other, which was tried before the justice of the peace. Kirby\u2019s Digest, \u00a7 4682. The proceedings of the circuit court are without authority.\nThe judgment of the circuit court is reversed, and the appeal is dismissed.",

Young.\nOpinion delivered March 9, 1908.\nJustice\u2019s court \u2014 right oe third person to appeal \u2014 Where an action was brought in a justice\u2019s court against the Rock Island, Arkansas & Louisiana Railway Company, and judgment was recovered against it, an appeal therein taken by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company was unauthorized, and should have been dismissed.\nAppeal from Union Circuit Court; George W. Hays, Judge;\nreversed.\nBuzbee & Hicks and Geo. B. Pugh, for appellant.\nThe action instituted, and the judgment rendered by the justice of the peace, was rendered against a different corporation from this appellant. If, by oversight of an attorney, an appeal was prayed from that judgment to the circuit court in the name of this appellant, that did not justify the latter court -in holding that it had made itself a party to the action, in the absence of any proceedings instituted against it. Kirby\u2019s Digest, \u00a7 4565. There was no consent to the judgment. A judgment not based on pleadings or consent is void. 76 Ark. 146; 51 Pac. 284; 48 Pac. 569; i Freeman on Judgments, \u00a7 \u00a7 120, 120c.\nJ. H. Green and I. B. Moore, for appellee.\nThe use of the name Rock Island, Arkansas & Louisiana Railway Company as defendant in the proceedings before the justice of the peace was a mere misnomer; but the summons was actually served on this appellant. Appellant not only appealed from the judgment, but also executed bond and superseded it, reciting in the affidavit that it was aggrieved thereby, and admitting in the supersedeas bond that it was the party defendant in the justice court proceedings. Taking an appeal or filing an answer or submitting to a regular trial is an appearance and a waiver of summons. 25 Ark. 99; 45 Ark. 295; 44 Ark. 482; 77 Ark. 497-506. Appellant is estopped to question the court\u2019s jurisdiction. 6 Ark. 438; 70 Ark. 197; 75 Ark. 571; 76 Ark. 391; art. 7, \u00a7 \u00a7 11 and 40, Const."
