SEC. 79. Settlement of appeal cases. — At any time after the perfection of an appeal from a judgment of a justice of the peace, and before the papers have been transmitted to the clerk of the Court of First Instance to which the action is appealed, the parties may adjust the controversy by agreement in writing, signed by both parties and lodged with the justice of the peace, who shall enter the same upon his docket, and no further proceeding shall thereafter be taken in the action. But if the appeal papers have already been transmitted to the clerk of the Court of First Instance, then the justice shall immediately transmit the compromise agreement to the clerk of the Court of First Instance, who shall file the same and enter a memorandum thereof upon his docket, and no further proceedings shall thereafter be taken in the action.
