SEAL Deputy Clerk

Opinion and order, May 21: At the pretrial conference the question whether or not the requisite jurisdictional amount is involved in the action was discussed and considered.

The civil court of record of this county has original jurisdiction of all cases at law where the matter in controversy, exclusive of interest and costs, does not exceed $5,000.

There are two independent and unrelated claims asserted by the plaintiff. The claim asserted in his first count, exclusive of interest .and costs, is for $5,000. It clearly does not exceed $5,000. The claim asserted in the second count, exclusive of interest and costs, is for only $543.27.

The two independent and unrelated claims may not be aggregated to invoke the jurisdiction of this court.

The action is therefore dismissed, without prejudice, at the plaintiff’s cost. 
      
       Any case ready for trial, whether arriving at issue before or during the term, after fifteen days’ notice by any attorney of record or the clerk of the court may at the discretion of the court be set for trial.
