Syllabus

<p>APPEAL — DISMISSAL—JURISDICTIONAL AMOUNT.</p> <p>The plaintiff company having made a seizure of certain property belonging to the city of Monroe, the latter enjoined the seizure, and prayed to have the same set aside as being of property exempt from seizure. This defense was sustained, and the seizure set aside. On appeal by plaintiff, the judgment was affirmed by the Supreme Court. Thereafter the sheriff of Ouachita took a rule on the plaintiff to show cause why it should not pay him some $900 for the keeping during the seizure of the mules seized. The district court rendered judgment in favor of the sheriff for $385. The plaintiff appealed. The sheriff moved to dismiss the appeal for the reason that the amount involved was not sufficient to give the court jurisdiction. The court sustains this objection and dismisses •the appeal for reasons assigned.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
