Wunderlich v. New Orleans Ry. & Light Co.
Opinion of the Court
This is an appeal from a judgment dismissing a rule nisi, requiring the railway and light company (hereafter called the company) and the commissioner of public
Tire commissioner and the company move to dismiss the appeal, on the grounds that this court is without jurisdiction ratione materim, for this, to wit: That no ordinance has been declared unconstitutional, and the amount in dispute, and the interests of each of the plaintiffs, does not exceed $2,000; that plaintiffs have taken an appeal to the Court of Appeal, thereby abandoning this appeal ; that the appeal herein is from an interlocutory order which works no irreparable injury.
Considering the grounds thus stated, in inverse order as compared with the statement:
In the instant case, plaintiffs pray for no moneyed judgment, and, although they allege that they are each interested to an extent exceeding $2,000, that allegation is not sustained by proof, nor do we think it susceptible of proof.
It is therefore ordered that this appeal be dismissed.
