PIERCE
v.
COX
The CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the opinion of the court.
The motion on the part of the appellant to dismiss the appeal, on the ground that no citation was issued according to law, cannot be sustained. The appellee is in court represented by counsel, and makes no objection to the want of citation. By this appearance the citation is waived so far as the appellee is concerned, and the appellant cannot be heard to object the want of citation occasioned by her own negligence, and cured by voluntary appearance.
But the motion of the appellee must be granted on both the grounds presented.
The law does not give to this court j urisdiction of appeals from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia when the amount in controversy is less than $1000.
There is, moreover, no evidence in the record of any allowance of .appeal; and without an allowance this court cannot acquire jurisdiction.
Writ dismissed.
