No. 7415.
    Caroline Perry vs. Eugene Oubre.
    The value of the property in dispute as alleged by the plaintiff, and not as established by the proof, is the measure of jurisdiction.
    When several witnesses have sworn to the ownership of the property in dispute, and the contrary is sworn by one witness, who in another case has been shewn to he conducting his own business in the plaintiff’s name, and to be her “keeper,” the latter will be disbelieved.
