Lead Opinion
On Motion to Dismiss Appeal.
This suit was orig- • inally for $9,000 for rent due and to become due, under a written contract of lease. Subsequently, plaintiffs discontinued their suit for rent to become due and limited their demand for two months’ rent past due, amounting to $1,000. It appears from another rec
The amount involved being less than $2,-000, the case is not within the jurisdiction of this court.
It appears in a decision handed down this day in a suit between the same parties, numbered 22S20 on the docket, 77 South. 116,
It is therefore ordered that this case be transferred to the court of appeal for the parish of Orleans, to be there proceeded with in accordance with law.

Rehearing
On Application for Rehearing.
We discover that the motion filed in this case, to dismiss the appeal, is based on grounds that are not at all appropriate to this appeal, but are appropriate to the appeal in the case bearing the same title, No. 22721 of the docket of this court. 78 South. -.
Although the motion to dismiss the appeal in this case — that is, the motion bearing the number 22720 — is based upon grounds that are not at all appropriate to the case and are untenable, we find no reason for changing the decree transferring the case to the court of appeal, because we could and should have transferred the case to the court of appeal on our own motion, on the ground that the amount in contest does not exceed $2,000.
■ The application for rehearing is therefore refused.
