Facts

- Whether the learned Magistrate had jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter.
Reasoning
The court found the Record of Appeal incompetent due to the failure to include exhibits produced in the lower court, and the court lacked jurisdiction due to the Appellant's concession to the Magistrate's jurisdiction and the non-pleading of the suit value.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
Orders
