- On the merits
On Motion to Dismiss
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Poché, J.
The ground of the motion is that the amount in dispute 'does not exceed two thousand dollars.
[764] From the evidence in the record, admitted on this point without objection, we are satisfied that the reasonable value of the lands in controversy does exceed the amount of the lower limit of our jurisdiction,, hence the motion must be denied.
