Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Jurisdiction — Amount in Controversy.</p> <p>The matter in dispute in this case is the amount of the costs due to the sheriff in a certain suit wherein the latter has seized and advertised, and was about to sell the property seized, when the judgment was satisfied by arrangement between the parties. The sheriff, dissatisfied with the amount awarded him thereafter by the district judge on a rule taken to tax his costs, has appealed to the Supreme Court.</p> <p>Held, that that court, by reason of the amount involved, has no jurisdiction over the appeal. The litigation did not arise from any difference as to the construction of one of its own judgments in the execution thereof, but from the happening of an independent fact which arose after the writ of fi. fa. had been placed in the hands of the sheriff, and which extinguished the judgment.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
