In an action to foreclose his lien plaintiff recovered for the glazing done on the three houses, $314. Held, that the amount involved was insufficient to give this court jurisdiction of the appeal.
Appeal from judgment of the supreme court, general term, second department, affirming judgment for $314 in favor of plaintiff, for a balance due upon a contract for glazing, amounting to $875, for which plaintiff had a mechanic’s lien upon eight houses, upon the foreclosure of which said judgment was obtained.

Opinion:
Per Curiam
The amount involved in this controversy is insufficient to give this court jurisdiction of the appeal.
The damages awarded against the appellants were but little over $300 and fall short of the- amount authorizing an appeal to this court.
The appeal should, therefore, be dismissed, with costs.
All concur.
