156 (Mo.App.) Where transcript filed by justice in circuit court showed that bond and affidavit required by statute were duly filed, and justice did in point of fact return such appeal to circuit court, circuit court had jurisdiction, though no actual allowance of appeal appeared in record of justice, in view of Rev. St. 1909, § 7574.-Hatfield v. Watson, 201 S. W. 564.
