Summary

Portrait of Morrison Waite Morrison Waite Dennison v. Alexander — Opinion of the Court

There is no reservation in the repealing act as to this class of pending cases any more than the other. Both sections have reference to the same general subject-matter, that is to say, our review of the judgments and decrees of the Supreme Court of the District in cases where jurisdiction has been made to depend on the value of the matter in dispute. Under the act of 1879 we can no longer hear any of that class of cases, unless the amount exceeds $2,500.
Appeal dismissed, each party to pay his own costs.
