Jenness v. Citizens' Nat. Bank of Rome
Supreme Court of the United States
Jenness v. Citizens' Nat. Bank of Rome, 110 U.S. 52 (1884)
3 S. Ct. 425; 28 L. Ed. 67; 1884 U.S. LEXIS 1654
Jenness v. Citizens' Nat. Bank of Rome
Opinion
delivered the opinion of the court.
The judgment in this case is for $1,215.16, but it appears *53 affirmatively on the face of the record that of this amount $2,669.03 was not disputed below. The defence related alone to the difference between these two amounts, which is less than $5,000. The dispute here is only in reference, to the amount contested below. Such being the case, we have no jurisdiction. The cases of Gray v. Blanchard, 97 U. S. 564; Tintsman v. national Bank, 100 U. S. 6; and Hilton v. Dickinson, 108 U. S. 165, are conclusive to this effect.
Dismissed.
