    (Supreme Court, Appellate Term.
    June, 1901.)
    ^Municipal Court—Removal op Cause.
    Where a complaint in an action for personal injuries brought in the municipal court of New York City asked judgment for $245, with interest from a stated time, and the interest, if allowed, would make the damages -exceed $250 at the time when a removal to the city court was asked, the •order of removal was properly given.
    Appeal from municipal court, borough of Manhattan, Third district. ,
    Action by Mary P. Lewis against the Metropolitan Street-Railway Company. From an order removing the case to the city court, plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.
    Argued before SCOTT, P. J., and BEACH and FITZGERALD, JJ.
    Lewis & Harmstad, for appellant.
    H. A. Robinson, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

In the complaint the plaintiff demands “judgment .for two hundred and forty-five dollars, with interest from the 1st day • of June, 1900.” The action being for personal injuries, the jury may award the interest when demanded, if it should see fit. Its demand brought the claim beyond the sum of $250, and the order of removal is correct. Order affirmed, with $10 costs.
