Samuel Blatchford, Vicksburg Company v. Smith — Opinion of the Court
“ The railroad company contends that the plaintiffs, by their petition, claim to be the owners of the entire Silver Lake tract of 186.57 acres; that the company by its answer also claims title to the entire tract; that it is stated by the court, in one of the bills of exceptions, that, if the suit involves title to the 186.57 acres, the land 'is worth about $10,000, as is admitted by counsel for plaintiffs;' and that, therefore, this court has jurisdiction of the writ of error. ”
