Baptiste v. Jaco
Opinion of the Court

The jurisdiction on appeal must be determined by the value of the four lots to be partitioned. Although the record tends to show their value exceeds $2,000, whatever uncertainty there may be in this regard is removed by 'the affidavit and exhibit attached to appellant’s motion to dismiss as well as by an affidavit subsequently filed by appellant, for from these it appears beyond question that their value is in excess of $2,000. Thé appeal should be transferred under Act 56 of 1904.
It is, therefore, ordered and decreed that this appeal be transferred to the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana upon the appellant or his attorney of record, making out and filing with the clerk of this court, on or
Appeal transferred.
