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.
Thorp v. Bonnifield, 177 U.S. 15 (1900)
Thorp v. Bonnifield Argued March 1, 1900 Decided March 19, 1900 177 U.S. 15
TRANSFERRED FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT
OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
When a defendant has, by his own action, reduced the judgment against him by a voluntary settlement and payment below the amount which is necessary in order to give this Court jurisdiction to review it, the real matter in dispute is only the balance still remaining due on the judgment, and the right of review in this Court is taken away.
The Court, being satisfied that the amount in dispute in this case is less than the amount required by statute to give it jurisdiction, orders the writ dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
The statement of case will be found in the opinion of the Court.
