Ducey v. Patterson
Ducey v. Patterson
Opinion of the Court
This action was brought by appellee, as plaintiff, to recover from appellants, as defendants, the sum of two thousand dollars, and also for the purpose of having them declared the trustees of, and that they be required to assign and set over to the plaintiff, an undivided one-half -of fifteen thous- and shares of the capital stock of the Portland Gold Mining Company. Plaintiff recovered a judgment
There is no money judgment except in the sum of two thousand dollars. The amount of the dividends to which plaintiff is entitled is not specified. The money judgment does not give this court jurisdiction to review the case. In determining whether or not plaintiff is entitled to the judgment and decree rendered, no questions are involved regulating appeals to this court as contemplated by the act establishing the court of appeals and the amendments thereto—Mills Ann. Code §4o6-a et seq. and Laws, 1899, 172 et seq. It is the amount of the judgment rendered and not the value of the property involved to which we must look in determining the question of jurisdiction in the absence of other questions which, under the statute, regulate the authority of this court to review causes on appeal or error.
The appeal must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction to entertain it.
Appeal dismissed.
