284 S.W. 1017 | Ky. Ct. App. | 1926
Dismissing.
The appellee recovered a judgment against the appellants for $225.00. An appeal to this court was granted by the court below. The appellants superseded the judgment there, and have prosecuted that appeal. Where the amount in controversy is less than $500.00 *101
the trial court is without jurisdiction to grant an appeal, and a supersedeas bond executed in such cases is void. See Childers v. Ratliff,
It has been held, however, that when a record is duly filed in the office of the Court of Appeals, and no appeal was prayed in the court below, the filing of the record will be treated as including a motion that the court grant an appeal, although no motion asking for such an appeal is filed with the record. See City of Covington v. Sullivan,
If the appellant here had filed this record with the clerk of the Court of Appeals and had taken process from this court against the appellee, this would have been treated as an abandonment of the appeal attempted to be granted below, but no such step was taken in this case. The steps taken in this case are identical with the steps taken in the case of Julian v. United Clothing Store,
See also rule X of this court.
Thus we see that this court has no jurisdiction of this appeal, and it is dismissed. *102
