PER CURIAM.

This case, an appeal from the action of the circuit court of Pemiscot county in refusing to enter of record what was claimed to have been an entry of appearance by plaintiff (respondent here) in a case appealed by defendants from a justice of the peace, the appearance claimed to have been entered at a prior term of the circuit court, was originally brought to this court from the circuit court of Pemiscot county, and was transferred to the Springfield Court of Appeals, in accordance with the provisions of an act of the General Assembly of this state, approved June 12, 1909, now section 3939, R. S. 1909. The case was there submitted on briefs without oral argument, and the judgment of the circuit court affirmed, the opinion written by Presiding Judge Nixon. That opinion will be found in 149 Mo. App. 428, 129 S. W. 1049, the case there being reported under the title "Shepard v. Tinsley et al." The Supreme Court subsequently declared the act of the Legislature above referred to unconstitutional, and held that the Springfield Court of Appeals had no jurisdiction in causes so transferred, even when those cases had been submitted to that court by the respective parties. See State ex rel. Dunham v. Nixon, 232 Mo. 98, 133 S. W. 336; State ex rel. St. Louis Dressed Beef & Provision Co. v. Nixon, 232 Mo. 496, 134 S. W. 538; State ex rel. O'Malley v. Nixon, 233 Mo. 345, 138 S. W. 342. This cause was accordingly sent back to this court by the Springfield Court of Appeals. It was argued before us orally by counsel for appellants, counsel for respondent submitting it on brief.
