Opinion of the Court — Gaines

Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

Gaines, Associate Justice.

The defendant in error brought this suit in the court below to recover of plaintiffs in error’s intestate the precise sum of five hundred dollars, exclusive of interest. It is held that the district court has no jurisdiction of a suit for this amount. (Rambolt v. Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railway Company, 67 Texas, 654 .) The judgment for the defendant in error must therefore be reversed and the suit dismissed.

Reversed and dismissed.
