CRANE

v.TAYLOR

Supreme Court of Missouri.

April Term, 1842.

APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF BENTON COUNTY.

PHELPS, for Defendant in Error.

TOMPKINS, J.

Taylor brought his suit against Crane before a justice of the peace and obtained judgment against him. Crane appealed to the Circuit Court. That court dismissed his appeal; and he appeals to this court. Crane assigns for error, that the Circuit Court dismissed his appeal. There is no bill of exceptions to show on the record the reasons why the appeal was dismissed, and this court must presume that the Circuit Court gave a correct judgment, when nothing appears on the record to show the contrary.^(a) The judgment of the Circuit Court is, therefore affirmed.
