Scot v. Turner, 1 Root 163 (Colo. Ct. App. 1790).

Opinion

By the Court.

The general issue was joined upon the only material point in the declaration, but not decided; a justice’s jurisdiction, in criminal prosecutions is limited to forty shil[164]*164lings only, except to commit or bind to a higher court; the proceedings therefore before Justice Parmela, are void, being coram non juMce.
