The Supreme Court of the United States

the city OF Lynchburg. and Litchford
versus Day, sergeant of Lynchburg, in
volving in one form or another tho old
tax coupon controversy.
The cases were dismissed by the
Court OF Appeals of Virginia upon the
ground that the matters involved were
purely pecuniary, and that the amount
in controversy in each case was less
than sufficient to give the court juris-
diction. This court takes the same
view, holding that it is governed by the
facts found by the lower court.
The court denied without prejudice
similar motions in the case of Jones
versus the commonwealth, Mallan
versus Bransford, and billiard versus

the motion papers were not sufficiently
