AMOUNT WAS ONLY $25.

Therefore Appellate Court Refuses to Consider Api>eal. Although the successful plaintiff in the trial court failed to suggest that it was a judgment from which no appeal would lie, the appellate court refused to consider an appeal where the judgment against the appellant, defendant, was only $25. The statute authorizes an appeal where the amount in controversy exceeds .SSO. The case in which tht decision is made w r as an appeal by Paul L. Schultz and others from a judgment of the Jasper circuit court for $25 in favor of Leslie B. Altei. The suit was brought by Alter for $l5O, but the judgment was only for $25. The court says that in an appeal by the defendant from a judgment of only $25, there could not be any amount in excess of $25 involved.—lndianapolis News.
