Williamson v. Cridelle
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Appeal from Sixth Judicial District Court, Parish of Morehouse; Ben C. Dawkins, Judge. Suit by George F. Williamson against Dr. R. L. Cridelle and others. From a judgment dismissing the suit, plaintiff appeals.
1Opinion of the Court
On Motion to Dismiss Appeal.
SOMMERYILLE, J.
Plaintiff appeals from a judgment dismissing his suit to have declared null and void the municipal election held in the village of Bonita on April 16, *10991918, and, in the alternative, that he be decreed to have been elected mayor of the village.
There is no allegation or evidence in the record as to the amount involved. The salary of the office of mayor of a village for two years cannot be over $2,000. The court is therefore without jurisdiction.
