1Opinion of the CourtMonroe, C. J.
[1] This litigation involves the title to a one-fourth undivided interest in two-thirds of 40 acres of land on Douglas Island near Shreveport. There is no evidence in the record showing that the value of the “matter” in dispute exceeds $2,000, and is within the appellate jurisdiction of this court, and the plain indications are that it is very much less than that amount. We find the admission, among others, that the land in question is worth more than $2,000, but the evidence satisfies us that the admission was made in error as to the fact, and jurisdiction cannot be conferred upon this court…
