Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Baldwin
Baldwin, J.
delivered the opinion of the Court—Field, C. J. concurring.
We have no jurisdiction in this case; the amount being less than two hundred dollars. The fact that an offset was pleaded by defendant, does not alter the case; if so, whenever an offset to the amount of two hundred dollars was set up in a Justice's Court, the jurisdiction would be ousted.
Appeal dismissed.
