The defendant and appellant in its answer attacked the act cited supra as unconstitutional.

- (Syllabus by the Court.) 1. Courts (§ 224*) — Appellate Jurisdiction —Supreme Court — Amount in -Controversy. When the constitutionality of a statute has been attacked, but the lower court has held it constitutional, no appeal lies to this court, when the amount involved is below the jurisdictional limit of this court. It is only when the statute has been held unconstitutional that an appeal lies to this court under such circumstances. • [Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Courts, Cent. Dig. §§ 487, 608-618; Dec. Dig. § 224.*] 2. Courts (§ 224*) — Appellate Jurisdiction —Court op Appeal — Amount in Controversy. As the amount involved does not exceed $100, exclusive of interest, an appeal does not lie to the Court of Appeal, and hence the appeal cannot be transferred to that court, but must be dismissed. [Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Courts, Cent. Dig. §§ 487, 608-618; Dec. Dig. § 224.*]
