The pursuers objected to the competency of the appeal on the ground that the appeal was really taken for the purpose of obtaining the judgment of the Court on the relevancy of the action, the case being quite unfitted for trial by jury, and founded on sec. 24 of the Sheriff Court Act of 1853.

Counsel for the Defender and Appellant— Macfarlane. Agents— Carment, Wedderburn, & Watson, W.S.
