Opinion

Mr Chief Justice Marshall

delivered the opinion of the Court.

In the present casé, a majority of the Court are of opinion that this Court has no jurisdiction in the case; the value in controversy not being sufficient to entitle the party by law to claim, an appeal. ., The value is not the value of the minor’s'estate, büt the value of the office of guardian. The present is a controversy merely between persons, claiming adversely as guardians, having no distinct interest of their own. The office of guardian is of no value; except so far as it affords a compensation for labour and servicés thereafter to be earned.
