GENERAL.
Rules of Decision, Adjudications,
Opinions, and Records.

90 (4) (Utah) Comp. Laws 1907, § 686x10, subd. 2, declaring jurisdiction of city courts, and section 688, subd. 2, declaring jurisdiction of justices of the peace, being word for word the same, authorities relating to jurisdiction of the justices of the peace are in point in determining the jurisdiction of the city courts.Wrathall v. Miller, 169 P. 946.

91(1) (Cal.App.) Decision of Supreme Court in condemnation suit held decisive on appeal to Court of Appeals, in another suit, where the conditions, facts, and questions involved were the same.-Colusa & H. R. Co. v. Glenn, 169 P. 423.
