Opinion of the Court
Mr. Chief Justice Waite

Mr. Chief Justice Waite delivered the opinion of the court.

We have no jurisdiction in this case. The litigation below involved in the appeal was between Keogh and the Orient Fire Insurance Company as to the ownership of a fund in court for distribution, amounting to $1411.44. • Each of the parties claimed the whole, but the court divided it between them, giving Keogh $729.16, and tire Insurance Company $682.29. Keogh alone appeals. The Insurance Companyfis satisfied. It is clear, therefore, that the value of the matter in dispute here is only $682.29. To give us jurisdiction in appeals from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, the matter in dispute must exceed $100(1,— (Rev. Stat. Sec. 705.) ’ Appeal dismissed.

Mr. Enoch Totten for appellant.

Mr. S. B. Bond for appellees.
