Mrs. E. B. Harris v. E. Stubenrauch.
    Where the Supreme Court has jurisdiction of a cause at the time of appeal, the appeal will not be dismissed on account of a part payment of the judgment, which, if made before appeal, would have reduoed the amount below its jurisdiction.
    APPEAL from the Sixth District Court of New Orleans,
    
      Duplantier, J. E. Bermudez, for appellant. A. Derhes, for appellee.
   Byman, C. J.

The defendant, appellee, has moved to dismiss the appeal taken by plaintiff, on tbe ground, as averred by him, defendant, that he bas paid plaintiff tbe amount sued for by plaintiff, except tbe costs of suit, since tbe appeal was taken.

• It is not questioned that, when the appeal was taken, tbis Court bad jurisdiction of tbe case. Tbis Court once having jurisdiction is not divested thereof because of a part payment, which, if made before appeal, would have reduced tbe amount claimed to a sum below its jurisdiction.

Tbe motion to dismiss the appeal is overruled.
