Opinion of the Court

Opinion of the Court by

Chief Justice Clay

Dismissing appeal.

This is an appeal from a judgment in favor of appellee for $45, with interest and costs.

Since the jurisdiction of this court in actions for the recovery of money is limited to cases where the amount in controversy is $200, exclusive of interest and costs, it follows that the appeal cannot be entertained. Section 950, Kentucky Statutes, Baldwin’s Supplement 1926; Thomas v. Thomas, 162 Ky. 630, 172 S. W. 1054.

Appeal dismissed.
