18 F. Cas. 928
Thruston.
Published

The Court

(Thruston, J.,

absent,) dismissed the appeal, because this Court has no original or appellate jurisdiction where the debt or demand does not exceed'five dollars.

Mr. Hoban, for the defendant, contended that, as the warrant did not specify the sum demanded, it did not appear that it was not for more than five dollars ; and if it was, the defendant has a right to appeal, although the judgment is for five dollars only.

But the Court dismissed the appeal.
