On January 21, 1899, plaintiff instituted suit in the circuit court of Jasper county against the Roberta Mining Company, a corporation, on an account, for •the sum of $686, alleging the company’s indebtedness to be about $14,000, asking that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the corporate property, and for judgment on the account.
The petition averred that the company had no property except mining machinery and mining leases; that it was indebted some $14,000; that it was a non-resident corporation; that its creditors were threatening to attach its property, and that if they did so its property would be exhausted in cosos and expenses, and the creditors unable to realize anything upon their debts.
Thereafter, the court at the instance of plaintiff, made an order of record directing the sheriff in whose possession the attached property then was, to turn it over to the receiver, which was done. Erom this order, Matthews et al., appeal.
We are unable to discover anything in this record which confers jurisdiction on the Supreme Court of this appeal. The amount involved is not sufficient for that purpose, nor is there any other question raised by the record which does so. [Sec. 12, art. VI, Constitution of Missouri.]
We, therefore, order that the record be transferred to the Kansas City Court of Appeals.
