Williams, Administrator, v. Tutt, Appellant.
    
    Jurisdiction: supreme court. The supreme court has no jurisdiction of a cause where the question at issue is whether a surviving-partner is entitled to commission for his services in settling the partnership estate and the amount claimed as such commission is less than twenty-five hundred dollars. (Const., art. 6, secs. 13, 37; Amendment to Const., sec. 5.)
    
      Appeal from St. Louis City Circuit Court.—Hon. L. B. Yalliant, Judge.
    
      Transferred to St. Louis Court of Appeals.
    
    
      W. C. Marshall for appellant.
    
      Seddon & Blair for respondent.
   Brace, J.

This case was tried in the circuit court of St. Louis on an agreed statement of facts. There is but one question in the case, and that is whether a surviving partner is entitled to commission for his services in settling the partnership estate. The only amount in dispute is the amount claimed for such commission, to-wit, the sum of $2,496.96, and this sum being below the amount in which this court has appellate jurisdiction, the case will be transferred to the St. Louis court of appeals for decision (Const., art. 6, secs. 12 and 27; Const. Am.; R. S. 1889, p. 87, sec. 5), and it is accordingly so ordered.

All concur.
