Roberts' adm'or v. Cocke
Supreme Court of Virginia
The cases are stated by Judge Burks, in his opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtBurks, J.
The amounts in controversy in these cases are small. Besides the costs, in the first case, only $182, and in the second $119.41, not sufficient of themselves to give this court jurisdiction to review the judgments of the court below. Our jurisdiction is invoked, however, upon the ground set out by the plaintiffs in error in their petitions, that the act of the general assembly, under which the judgments were rendered, is unconstitutional and void; and we have given to the question, thus presented for our determination, that consideration which its importance demands.
