Opinion:
Ludeling, C. J.
A motion has been made in this case to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
The suit is by a stockholder of the company to compel the officers to permit him to examine the books of the company. There is no amount in dispute which could give this court jurisdiction. 24 An. 148; art. 74 of the constitution.
It is therefore ordered that the appeal be dismissed with costs.
