Baldwin, J.

delivered the opinion of the Court—Field, ‍​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‍C. J. concurring.

We have no jurisdiction in this case; the amount being ‍​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‍less than two hundred dollars. The fact that an offset was pleaded by ‍​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‍defendant, does not alter the case; if so, whenever an offset to ‍​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‍the amount of two hundred dollars was set up in a Justice‘s ‍​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‍Court, the jurisdiction would be ousted.

Appeal dismissed.
