1Opinion of the Court
Motion to Dismiss for Want of Jurisdiction.
BREAUX, C. J
This motion relates exclusively to the Arcadia Cotton Oil Mill.. The ground for dismissal in this case is that plaintiff’s claim is less than $2,000, and that this court has no jurisdiction on appeal to hear and determine the matters in dispute as to the plaintiff.
The amount of the main demand is controlling as relates to jurisdiction without regard to pleas in reconvention, whether allowed or not in the court of the first instance.
The appeal must be dismissed from this court and transferred to the Court of Appeal.
