Syllabus

<p>APPEAL ■— AMOUNT IN CONTROVERSY-REDUCTION OF AMOUNT BY WAIVER-EFFECT.</p> <p>In an action on an injunction bond to recover damages in the sum of $260, the action of plaintiffs before resting their case, in waiving all claims for attorney fees, which one paragraph of their complaint had claimed as an item of damages in the sum of $100, thereby reduced the amount in controversy to $160, and hence judgment therein would not be appealable, under the constitutional provision restricting the appellate jurisdiction of the supreme court in actions for the recovery of money to cases where the amount in controversy exceeds the sum of $200.</p>
