Beyond the offering of the substitute to
the original section o37 OF the bill by
Senator Sutherland. and a brief state
ment in It's support by him. and an
acquiescence by Senator Hepburn, the
provision was passed without objection or
debate. And thus. it is contended by

right of appeal which has always existed,
in all other cases in which the matter in
dispute, exclusive OF the costs. exceeds
the sum of 5000. and right Of the citi-

marily wiped out.
The jurisdiction OF the courts Of the
