Frellsen v. Copley.
    No appeal will lie where the amount in dispute at the time of instituting the suit was loss than three hundred-dollars, though interest and costs, which have accrued since, raise the amount above that sum. Const, art. 63.
    Appeal from the District Court of Ouachita, Selby, J.
    
      McGuire and Ray, for the appellant. Garrett and Purvis, for the defendant.
   The judgment of the court was pronounced by

Slidell, J.

We have no jurisdiction in this case. When the suit was instituted, the amount in dispute did not roach the sum of §300; and, even if the interest and costs since accrued would carry the claim to a sum exceeding §300, the case cannot be considered here. See Coons v. Threlked, 9 Rob. 153. Mason v. Oglesby, ante p. 793. Constitution, art. 63.

Appeal dismissed.-
