General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

ERROR TO THE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Syllabus
Although the estate may amount to more than $5,000, if the aggregate interest of plaintiffs in error is less than that amount, and the balance of the estate goes to defendants in error, the necessary amount in controversy does not exist to give this Court jurisdiction of an appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia setting aside a will. Overby v. Gordon, 177 U.S. 214, distinguished.
Writ of error to review 29 App.D.C.198 dismissed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
