John Workman v. F. M. Neal.

Injury to Personal Property — Jurisdiction of Justice.

A Justice of the Peace has jurisdiction of an action to recover damages for an injury to personal property.

[Opinion filed November 20, 1886.]

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Sangamon County; the Hon. James A. Creighton, Judge, presiding.

Mr. N. M. Broadwell, for appellant.

Messrs. Patton & Hamilton, for appellee.

Per Curiam.

This was a suit before a Justice of the Peace to recover damages for injury to personal property, and was dismissed by the Circuit Court upon appeal, on the ground that the justice had no j urisdiction of the snbj ect-matter. We think this was error, for reasons stated in the opinion filed in Skinner et ah v. Morgan, decided at this term. See also C. & A. R. R. Co. v. Calkins, 17 Ill. App. 56.

Reversed and remanded.
