    Samuel C. Reed, Resp’t, v. Francis Trowbridge, App’lt.
    
      (Court of Appeals,
    
    
      Filed June 14, 1887.)
    
    Appeal to court op appeals—Amount in controversy—Code Civ. Pro., § 191.
    
      G. W. Porter, for Appl’t; Theo. F. Miller, for Resp’t.
   Per Curiam.

The amount in controversy is the sum of $1,465.47, which the jury allowed to the plaintiff. His right to recover that sum was strenuously disputed and resisted by the defendant. The jury gave him a verdict of only $200.47. But that balance was reached by applying, in diminution of the $1,465.47, the undisputed counter-claim of the defendant, amounting to the sum of $1,265. But for the allowance by the jury of the $1,465.47, the defendant would have had judgment for his counter-claim. The matter in controvery, therefore, under section 191 of the Code, is more than $500, and the case is appealable to this court. Motion denied, with $10 costs.
