Counsel

Hopkins , S. G. Campbell,

Matlack v. Brown

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.—

Whenever this court has jurisdiction, the judgment carries costs. Kline v. Woods, 9 S. & R. 299. Plaintiff having elected to bring replevin in this court, it is not in his power to say the court has no jurisdiction. In fact, the claim was for §200, and the verdict of the jury finding but §100 due, will not oust the court of jurisdiction.

Judgment for avowant with costs.
