Syllabus

<p>APPEAL — JURISDICTIONAL AMOUNT — DISMISSAL.</p> <p>1. Where, in an action in damages for an alleged illegal seizure, it is apparent on the face of the record that the damages claimed are impossible in fact and in law, inflated and fictitious, and that, if any damages were sustained, the amount is far below that necessary to bring the case within the appellate jurisdiction of this court, the appeal of the plaintiff from a judgment rejecting' the demand will be dismissed.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
