Morrison Waite,
Mayer v. Walsh — Opinion of the Court
“ By his other defenses he defeated the claim in part. To review the decree, so far as it is affected by these defenses, the present appellee appealed. If, on that appeal, these defenses are overruled, it may be important to the present appellant to insist on his defense of prescription against a claim that will then amount to more than $5,000. ”
