Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>On Motion to Dismiss.</p> <p>1. The amount involved in a controversy is to be found from the pleadings and not from the evidence, and when the pleadings show that more than $100 is claimed, this Court has appellate jurisdiction although the evidence may show that less than $100 is actually due.</p> <p>2. The name of the individual who may happen to be Clerk of Court is mere surplusage in an appeal bond, and hence an error in naming such individual, can not prejudice the appeal, especially since the adoption of Act 112 of 1916.</p>
