Cal.

Check Treatment
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.
