Opinion and decree, December 22nd, 1913. Syllabus. Involves only a matter of costs. A motion is now made- to dismiss this appeal on the ground that “the judgment appealed from is for . an amount below the minimum amount over which this Court has appellate jurisdiction. ” There is no merit in this motion; for as this is an appeal from a judgment taxing costs under our prior decree, this Court is vested with jurisdiction in the premises regardless of the amount in dispute.
