The declaration charges that plaintiff in error was guilty of negligence in suffering a certain bridge within its corporate limits, and over which it had control, to be and remain in bad and unsafe repair and condition, whereby defendant in error was thrown from a buggy and sustained personal injury.\nPlaintiff in error brings the case to this court and assigns, among other errors, that the County Court did not have jurisdiction to try the case.\nThe statute provides: \u201c The County Court shall have concurrent jurisdiction with the Circuit Court in all that class of cases wherein justices of the peace now have or may hereafter have jurisdiction, where the amount claimed or the value of the property in controversy shall not exceed one thousand dollars.\u201d\nJustices of the peace in this State have not at any time had jurisdiction in actions to recover damages for personal injury caused by negligence, and consequently the County Court had no jurisdiction. The judgment below will therefore be reversed.",
