APPEALS AND ERRORS 339
The court of appeals will riot review the judgment of the circuit court under this
section if that court had jurisdiction. A judgment upon a scire facias is a valid and
binding one and falls within this section. The payment of costs under sec. 101 is
not required as a condition of the appeal, but is a condition precedent to the hearing.
The filing of the bond under sec. 99 is to stay execution on the judgment, and does
not relate to the right of appeal or the jurisdiction of the circuit court on appeal.
Jurisdiction of circuit court upheld. Wilmer v. Mitchell, 122 Md. 301.
Generally.
The case is disposed of by the appellate court in the same manner as if no judg-
ment had been rendered by the justice; the plaintiff may take a non pros, and is
at liberty to bring a new suit. The court may reverse the case without prejudice.

The jurisdiction of the circuit court or Baltimore City court is appellate and no
appeal lies from its judgment, nor from its action in quashing an attachment issued

511; Rayner v. State, 52 Md. 374; Hough v. Kelsey, 19 Md. 454.
