Sterling Hardware Co. v. Jeff Newberry Co.

Opinion op the Court by

— Denying appeal and dismissing matter.

The Sterling Hardware Company has prayed an appeal to this Court from a judgment overruling its motion to cancel and discharge an attachment in favor of the Jeff Newberry Company in the amount of $102.24, and one in favor of the Powell Hackney Grocery Company in the amount of $125.34.

It is provided in Section 950-1 of the Statutes that the jurisdictional minimum in an action such as this is $200. We have frequently held that appellate jurisdiction can not be conferred by combining actions or amounts, no one of which is in itself of sufficient size to confer jurisdiction. Stearns Coal & Lumber Co. v. Unemployment Compensation Commission of Kentucky, 285 Ky. 249, 147 S. W. (2d) 382; Kramer v. Kramer, 276 Ky. 504, 124 S. W. (2d) 744; Central Wholesale Co. v. Yaden, 261 Ky. 703, 88 S. W. (2d) 693, and cases cited therein.

Wherefore, the appeal is denied and the matter dismissed.
