State of Louisiana v. The District Judge of the Parish of Jefferson.
    The Supreme Court will not grant a mandamus, where it does not appear that the subject matter, with respect to the amount involved, falls within its jurisdiction.
    THIS was an application for a mandamus, to compel the district judge of the Third Judicial District, to grant an order for the sale of perishable goods, which had been attached. The petition for the mandamus did not state the value of the goods.
   By the court:

Slidell, J.

It does not appear that the subject matter with I'espect to the amount involved, falls wjthin the jurisdiction of this court. See Pligue v. Bellome, 2d Ann. 293. It is unnecessary, therefore, to say, whether the decision of the district judge presents a case for relief by mandamus.

Let the application be dismissed, at the costs of the appellant.
