Decided January 10, 1898
169 U.S. 45

APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

Syllabus

The court below having dismissed the bill in this case on the ground that it had no jurisdiction, as the matter in dispute was determined not to exceed $2,000 exclusive of interest and costs, this Court examines the bill at length in its opinion and holds that, upon the face of the pleading, the matter in dispute is sufficient to give the court below jurisdiction, and remands the case for further proceedings, without determining any of the other questions on the merits.

The case is stated in the opinion.
