Puyallup Light, Heat & Power Co. v. Stevenson
Washington Supreme Court · Decided December 2, 1899
21 Wash. 604; 59 P. 504; 1899 Wash. LEXIS 334

Puyallup Light, Heat & Power Co. v. Stevenson

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This was an action for unlawful detainer and the recovery of $24 damages. The defendants had judgment in the superior court, and plaintiff appealed. Subsequent to the taking of the appeal, possession of the premises was surrendered, so that the existing controversy embraces only a demand for the recovery of $24. We cannot entertain jurisdiction. Hice v. Orr, 16 Wash. 163 (47 Pac. 424) ; State Constitution, art. 4, § 4.

The motion to dismiss is granted.
