Tipton v. Chambers
Court of Appeals of Kentucky
CASE 42 — PETITION ORDINARY APPEAL FROM MONTGOMERY CIRCUIT COURT. The facts appear in the opinion of the court. The court of appeals has jurisdiction of this appeal, the “value in controversy” being over fifty dollars. (Sess. Acts, 1857-8,page 35.) The appellee insists that the court of appeals has no jurisdiction of this appeal.
1Opinion of the Court
JUDGE STITES
delivered the opinion of the court:
Chambers sued Tipton for the value of a wagon alleged to be worth fifty-nine dollars, and the latter resisted a recovery upon the ground that the property did not belong to the plaintiff.
A trial was had in the circuit court, and a verdict and judgment rendered for twenty-five dollars in favor of Chambers, to reverse which this appeal is prosecuted by Tipton.
*566It is objected by appellee that this court has no jurisdiction of the case, because the judgment is for less than fifty dollars; and, in our opinion, the objection is well taken.
