Jenness v. Citizens' Nat. Bank of Rome

110 U.S. 52, 3 S. Ct. 425, 28 L. Ed. 67, 1884 U.S. LEXIS 1654

Supreme Court of the United States·Decided January 7, 1884·No. 175·Published·Cited by 15 cases

Opinion

Mr. Chief Justice Waite

delivered the opinion of the court.

The judgment in this case is for $1,215.16, but it appears *53 affirmatively on the face of the record that of this amount $2,669.03 was not disputed below. The defence related alone to the difference between these two amounts, which is less than $5,000. The dispute here is only in reference, to the amount contested below. Such being the case, we have no jurisdiction. The cases of Gray v. Blanchard, 97 U. S. 564; Tintsman v. national Bank, 100 U. S. 6; and Hilton v. Dickinson, 108 U. S. 165, are conclusive to this effect.

Dismissed.
