Simmons v. Brainard
Simmons v. Brainard
14 Cal. 278
Simmons v. Brainard
Opinion of the Court
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.
