Bohnert v. Ben Hur Life Ass'n

MAJOR, District Judge.

This cause was removed to this court from the circuit court of Sangamon county, Ill., and the question now presented is on the motion of plaintiff to amend the bill in certain particulars and to remand the cause to the state court. Various reasons are assigned in support.of the motion to remand, the most important of which is the jurisdictional question that the controversy does not involve, exclusive of interest and costs, the sum of $3,000. As the court has reached a conclusion on this question, it is not necessary to pass upon the other grounds assigned in said motion.
