A motion has been made in this case to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

The suit is by a stockholder of the company to compel the officers to permit him to examine the books of the company. There is no ■amount in dispute which could give this court jurisdiction. 24 An. 148; art. 74 of the constitution.

It is therefore ordered that the appeal be dismissed with costs.
