Syllabus
1. An appeal will be dismissed wlien it appears from the record, taken as a. whole, that the amount actually in controversy is not sufficient to give the court jurisdiction’. '2. Gray v. Blanchard ( 97 U. S. 664 ) reaffirmed.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, of the United States for the District of Louisiana.
The'facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
Mr, J. D '. Rouse and Mr. William Grant for the appellant.
Mr. Charles B. Singleton, Jr., contra.
delivered the opinion of the court.
■ From this record it appears affirmatively that the only dispute between the parties is as to the right of the insurance association to'withhold a transfer of stock until an indebtedness of a stockholder- to it for $2,074.-36 is paid. Such being the case, we have no jurisdiction of this .appeal. In Gray v. Blanchard ( 97 U. S. 564 ) we. held that'a writ of error must be dismissed when it’ appears from the record, taken as a whole, that .the amount actually in controversy between the’parties was not sufficient to give-us-jurisdiction.
Appeal dismissed.
