Troy v. Evans
MOTION to dismiss a writ of error to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Middle District of Alabama.
This is an action commenced Oct. 31, 1872, by Evans, Gardner, & Co., against the Mayor and Councilmen of Troy, a municipal corporation in Alabama.
The declaration alleges that the defendant, on the 19th of February, 1869, pursuant to lawful authority, issued certain town bonds, each for $100, payable to bearer, with interest at eight per cent per annum from said date, in ten annual instalments, after the completion of the Mobile and Girard Railroad to said town, together with the accrued interest; that sixty-three of said bonds are the property of the plaintiffs; that said road was completed to the town of Troy June 9, 1870; and that three annual instalments of ten per cent each, amounting to $30 of the principal, are due and unpaid on each of said bonds, besides interest. The plaintiffs therefore claim $1,890, the amount of the instalments due on said bonds, with interest on said bonds, at eight per cent per annum, from Feb. 19, 1869.
The defendant's plea sets forth that at the commencement of the suit the plaintiffs held the bonds as security for an existing liability or indebtedness of one Jones to them, which was much smaller in amount than the amount of said bonds, and which was neither paid nor extinguished by said bonds, nor by their delivery to the plaintiffs by said Jones; that the plaintiffs obtained said bonds from Jones, before the commencement of the suit, as security for his liability or indebtedness to them, and held the same as such security at the commencement of the suit, and not otherwise; and that, when they so obtained said bonds, they had notice that Jones was a citizen of the State of Alabama, as in fact he then was, and ever since has been.
There was a judgment for the plaintiffs, May 27, 1875, for $3,926.96. The defendant below then sued out this writ of error, which the defendants in error now move to dismiss, on the ground that the amount in controversy is not sufficient to give this court jurisdiction.
Mr. H. A. Herbert for the defendants in error, in support of the motion.
Mr. Samuel F. Rice and Mr. Thomas G. Jones, contra.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE delivered the opinion of the court.

* Troy Town
* Heavenborn Helen, Sparta's queen,
* (O Troy Town!)
* Had two breasts of heavenly sheen,
* The sun and moon of the heart's desire:
* All Love's lordship lay between.
* (O Troy's down,
* Tall Troy's on fire!)
* Helen knelt at Venus' shrine,
* (O Troy Town!)
* Saying, 'A little gift is mine,
* A little gift for a heart's desire.
* Hear me speak and make me a sign!
* (O Troy's down,
* Tall Troy's on fire!)
* 'Look, I bring thee a carven cup;
* (O Troy Town!)
* See it here as I hold it up, —
* Shaped it is to the heart's desire,
* Fit to fill when the gods would sup.
* (O Troy's down,
* Tall Troy's on fire!)
* 'It was moulded like my breast;
* (O Troy Town!)
* He that sees it may not rest,
* Rest at all for his heart's desire.
* O give ear to my heart's behest!
* (O Troy's down,
* Tall Troy's on fire!)
* 'See my breast, how like it is;
* (O Troy Town!)
* See it bare for the air to kiss!
* Is the cup to thy heart's desire?
* O for the breast, O make it his!
* (O Troy's down,

* Say, who brought it then to thy feet?
* (O Troy's down,

* Venus looked on Helen's gift,

* Looked and smiled with subtle drift,
* Saw the work of her heart's desire: —
* 'There thou kneel'st for Love to lift!'
* (O Troy's down,
* Tall Troy's on fire!)
* Venus looked in Helen's face,
* (O Troy Town!)
* Knew far off an hour and place,
* And fire lit from the heart's desire;
* Laughed and said, 'Thy gift hath grace!'
* (O Troy's down,

* (O Troy Town!)
* Saw the heart within its nest,
* Saw the flame of the heart's desire, —
* Marked his arrow's burning crest.
* (O Troy's down,

* Cupid took another dart,
* (O Troy Town!)
* Fledged it for another heart,
* Winged the shaft with the heart's desire,

* Paris turned upon his bed,
* (O Troy Town!)
* Turned upon his bed and said,

97 U.S. 1
Troy v. Evans
The writ of error in this case was sued out by the defendants below, upon a judgment rendered May 27, 1875, for $3,926.96. If there were nothing more, it would be clear that we have no jurisdiction. The bonds sued upon, however, were payable in instalments, and amounted in the aggregate to more than $5,000, while the instalments due when the judgment was rendered were less. The plea upon which the case was tried put in issue only the ownership of the bonds and the right of the plaintiffs to bring the suit, the claim being that one Jones, a citizen of Alabama, was the real owner, and that the plaintiffs held them only as security for a debt which he owed, less in amount than the bonds. The amount of the debt nowhere appears in the pleadings, though it is admitted that the bonds were held as security only.
Conceding all that is claimed in the argument opposing this motion, to wit, that the judgment in this action will be conclusive in another by the present plaintiffs upon the same bonds as to the liability of the defendants upon the bonds to the extent of the debt of Jones, for which they are held, still our jurisdiction cannot be maintained, unless it also appears that this debt exceeds $5,000. Prima facie, the judgment against a defendant in an action for money is the measure of our jurisdiction in his behalf. This prima facie case continues until the contrary is shown; and, if jurisdiction is invoked because of the collateral effect a judgment may have in another action, it must appear that the judgment conclusively settles the rights of the parties in a matter actually in dispute, the sum or value of which exceeds the required amount. No issue was raised here as to how much was actually due the plaintiffs from Jones, and the testimony is by no means clear upon that subject. Certainly there is nothing in the record which concludes the parties upon that question; and, as it rests upon the plaintiff in error to establish our jurisdiction affirmatively before we can proceed, the writ is
Dismissed.

# Twelve Men of Bengal in the Nineteenth Century

TWELVE MEN OF BENGAL IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
BY F. B. BRADLEY-BIRT Indian Civil Service
With Twelve Illustrations
FOURTH EDITION
Calcutta: S. K. LAHIRI AND CO., COLLEGE STREET [All Rights Reserved]
Price Re. 1/-
Printed and published by S. K. Banerjee at the Cotton Press, 57, Harrison Road, Calcutta for Messrs. S. K. Lahiri & Co.—10-1-27—XX.
PREFACE.
The following pages attempt to give a necessarily short but, it is hoped, complete sketch of the lives of twelve among the most prominent men of Bengal in the Nineteenth Century. The difficulty of selection where so many names occur will be obvious. I have, however, by no means attempted to select the twelve most distinguished names of the century, but rather those whose lives may be regarded as typical of the varied conditions of Bengal during that momentous period in its history. The selection has been further guided by a desire to cover the whole of the century so that the book may be not only a record of the lives of Twelve Men of Bengal but a comprehensive though brief sketch of the wonderful revival, social, moral and intellectual, which came to the Province during the period. Among the six Hindus and the six Muhammadans, to whom the present volume has been limited, will be found the social reformer and the merchant prince, the religious revivalist and the philanthropist, the Government official and the educationalist, the descendant of a long line of ruling chiefs and the self-made man who won his own way to wealth and influence. If by serving to remind the people of Bengal of the splendid examples that the great men of their own race have set before them, and by bringing home to Englishmen a greater ​knowledge of a few of the noble and devoted lives lived by men of Bengal in the Nineteenth Century, this little book may in its own small way increase the respect and sympathy between men of different creeds and races, it will amply fulfil its purpose.
Save in the case of Haji Mahomed Mohsin, of whose family I know of no representative surviving and in writing of whom I have had the kind assistance of the Mutwali of the Hooghly Imambara, I have to thank very cordially the representatives of the subjects of these sketches for the material assistance they have given me and for the interest they have taken in the book.
