CAMPBELL
v.
READ.
Supreme Court of United States.
Mr. Eames, for the appellant.
Mr. Stone, contra.
At a subsequent day, the CHIEF JUSTICE announced briefly the court's opinion, that independently of the record's not showing a proper certificate, this itself being a sufficient ground for dismissal, the amount in controversy was insignificant, and that the court was satisfied, on an inspection of the papers, that the allocatur was inadvertently sanctioned. There was, he said, no principle involved of such extensive application as to bring the case within the act of Congress giving jurisdiction on a judge's allocatur when the amount in controversy is less than $1000. Notwithstanding the allocatur, therefore, the case was
DISMISSED.
