Any person aggrieved at the decision of the magistrate may appeal therefrom to such higher court as is now or may hereafter be provided for appeals from justices' courts in criminal cases, and in accordance with the provisions of the laws of Arizona regulating the same.
Annotation--Despite the fact that an appeal to Superior Court under this section and general law is tried de nova, it is not necessary that any information be filed and the cause may be prosecuted by the city attorney rather than the county attorney, Ex Parte Coone, 67 Ariz. 299, 195 P. 2d 149.

If at any time the magistrate refuse or fail to perform the duties of his office, or in case of his absence or inability to act, it is hereby made the duty of any justice of the peace within said city to perform the duties of said magistrate, with all the jurisdiction conferred by law upon said magistrate; provided, however, that said mayor and council may designate the particular justice who shall exercise said jurisdiction, in which case no other justice shall possess the same.
