Ward, by Guardian v. Stewart Rodgers , 2 Tenn. 70 ( 1806 )

The practice has been for the County Court to allow an appeal or writ of error, upon the application of either party, and, when here, the attention of this court may be called to points of law (without the intervention of a jury); or, in other words, a party litigant in the county courts may appeal from the determination of a mere matter of law as well as if law and fact were mixed; and this practice is clearly inferrible from the sixty-third section of the Court Law passed September 29, 1794.
