(Court of Appeal, Parish of Orleans.)
HENRY VIAVANT, vs. S. PLASSAN.
ON MOTION TO DISMISS.
Where a motion to dismiss involves an examination of the whole record, the Court may properly refer the same to the merits.
Appeal from Civil District Court, Division “C.”
Chas. Louque, for Plaintiff and Appellee.
Lyle Saxon and H. G. Stewart, for Defendant and Appellant.
May 29, 1905.

Opinion:
DUFOUR, J.
The motion to dismiss on the ground that the value of the property involved exceeds the sum of $2,000 would for proper solution, require an examination of all the pleadings and evidence, as well as the effect to be given to the affidavits filed in this Court.
Under the circumstances, it would be an economy of time and labor to have the motion referred to the merits and argued at the same time.
Motion denied in limine without prejudice.
