Decision Date | 07 February 1899 |
Docket Number | 735. |
Citation | 92 F. 449 |
Parties | LEVINSKI v. MIDDLESEX BANKING CO. |
Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Fifth Circuit |
E. A Jones, W. M. Sleeper, D. C. Bolinger, and Geo. Clark, for plaintiff in error.
Bennett Hill and L. M. Dabney, for defendant in error.
Before PARDEE and McCORMICK, Circuit Judges, and PARLANGE, District judge.
It appears from the defendant's petition for removal, marked 'Filed April 5, 1897,' that this case was then pending in the state district court of McLennan county, Tex and that the plaintiff was then seeking to recover of the defendant damages in the sum of $7,600. On the same day April 5, 1897, the state district court made its order of removal, reciting that the court having examined the petition and the bond for removal, and the petition showing on its face that the case is removable, and the bond being in the terms of the law, the same is approved by the court, and the case is ordered to be removed to the circuit court of the United States for the Northern district of Texas for further proceedings. On April 25, 1898, the plaintiff filed in the circuit court of the United States for the Northern district of Texas for further proceedings. On April 25, 1898, the plaintiff filed in the circuit court his second amended original petition, which, according to the practice in Texas took the place of his previous pleading; so that the original petition and the first amended original petition do not appear in the transcript, and the date of their filing, respectively, and the averments in each, are not shown except by the answer of the defendant, from which it appears that the plaintiff's action was originally brought in the state court on October 31, 1893, and that the action, as originally brought, was on a breach of contract to loan the plaintiff money, on the faith of which contract the plaintiff had purchased brick, which he was compelled to sell, on account of the defendant's breach, at a loss of $100, and that he had suffered damages for the loss of rents for the months of September and October, 1893, to the extent of $150 per month, and by reason thereof he was damaged by the defendant in the sum of $2,000; and on January 23, 1897, the plaintiff filed in the state court what purported to be his first amended original petition, in lieu of his original petition, and in the amended petition alleged the loss of $200 on the sale of the brick, and made a claim for $6,000 damages for loss of rents, and for $1,600 on account of increased cost of building houses on the premises referred to in the original petition. The second amended original petition, on which the case proceeded to trial, states the plaintiff's cause of action as follows:
