Under the decision in Hecht v. Boughton (supra, p. 235), the case should have been brought here by appeal, and not by writ of error. There was no trial by a jury. But there is still another, objection to our jurisdiption.

S. 586. The value of the matter in dispute is the amount of the judgment that has been recovered. This is less than $1,000. It follows that w„e have no jurisdiction, and the writ is

Dismissed.
