Supreme Court of North Carolina August 5, 1850 (Fox v. . Wood)

Ruffin, C. J.

His Honor was of opinion, that the Act of 1844 transferred jurisdiction in such a case directly from the justice of the peace to the Superior Court.

We do not concur, but believe the proper construction of the Act of 1844 only takes to the Superior Court, in the first instance, such cases as will require the intervention of a jury as a matter of course.
