Syllabus

<p>Removal oe Causes—Federal Jurisdiction—Amount Involved.</p> <p>A cause removed from the state court will be remanded on the ground that the amount involved is only $1,900, and therefore not within the jurisdiction of the federal circuit court, though the complaint, in form, states two causes of action, the prayer as to each of which is for a judgment for $1,900; each being for nondelivery of a telegram; the only difference therein being that one is addressed to “Mrs. P.,” and the other to “Mr. P.”; and it appearing that the complaint,, in form, stated two causes of action because plaintiffs’ counsel was uncertain, from the chirography, as to which of the two persons the telegram was addressed.'</p>
