United States v. Cochrane
United States v. Cochrane
Opinion of the Court
Each of the defendants had obtained a separate judgment in the City Court of Lafayette, for $100, with interest and costs, upon which separate executions were issued, and severally. levied on different lots of ground in the city of Lafayette,
We have not thought it necessary to state the case more fully, as it is clear, that we have no jurisdiction of it. This court, on more than one occasion, have decided, that an appeal will not lie from a judgment rendered on one petition, enjoining executions on several judgments, each for less than three hundred dollars, rendered in separate suits, although the judgments added together amount to more than three hundred dollars. 5 Mart. N. S. 87. The counsel for the appellants endeavors to avoid the effect of this well established doctrine, by saying the properly seized amounts to more than three hundred dollars. Of this we have no evidence. It is, therefore, unnecessary to consider what effect the alleged fact might have.
Appeal dismissed.
