Syllabus

<p>Abpeal—Decisions Reviewable—Amount in Controversy. Upon appeal by defendant, the amount claimed by him in a counterclaim is the amount in controversy, and if over $200, the court has jurisdiction of the appeal.</p> <p>Same—Pinal Judgment—Premature Appeal. An appeal by defendant from a judgment denying relief upon his counterclaim is not prematurely taken by reason of the pendency of plaintiff’s motion to vacate the judgment denying plaintiff any relief, since the appeal was taken only from the other portion of the judgment, which the plaintiff would have no interest in vacating.</p> <p>Appeal—Record—Statement oe Pacts. Under Bal. Code, §§ 5057, 5058, the respondent may propose and have certified a statement of facts or bill of exceptions, although the same is unnecessary to present appellant’s case; but if the respondent has not appealed or excepted to the findings, the statement serves no useful purpose, and will be struck out.</p>
