Wells v. Wilkins
Supreme Court of the United States
Wells v. Wilkins, 118 U.S. 230 (1886)
6 S. Ct. 1049; 30 L. Ed. 210; 1886 U.S. LEXIS 1924
Wells v. Wilkins
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
These motions are denied. The additional affidavits which have been filed failed to satisfy us that the value of the matter in dispute is sufficient to give us jurisdiction. While the aggregate of the values in all the suits may exceed $5000, it is clear to our minds that the value of the property involved in no one of the suits reaches that sum, or anything like it.
Denied.
