Simmons v. Brainard, 14 Cal. 278 (Cal. 1859).
Opinion
delivered the opinion of the Court—Field, C. J. concurring.
We have no jurisdiction in this case; the amount being less than two hundred dollars. The fact that an offset was pleaded by defendant, does not alter the case; if so, whenever an offset to the amount of two hundred dollars was set up in a Justice's Court, the jurisdiction would be ousted.
Appeal dismissed.
