Citation | 245 S.W.2d 23 |
Parties | PAGE v. LACLEDE GAS LIGHT CO. et al |
Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Ignatius Page, Jr., St. Louis, pro se.
William R. Bascom and Shepley, Kroeger, Fisse & Ingamells, all of St. Louis, for Laclede Gas Co. (formerly The Laclede Gas Light Co.).
Morris J. Levin and James R. Blumenfeld, St. Louis, for individual respondents.
The circuit court of the city of St. Louis sustained respondents' motion to dismiss appellant's first amended petition for the reason that it fails to state facts showing that the appellant is entitled to any relief. The petition asks damages in the sum of $40,000. We, therefore, have jurisdiction of this appeal.
Appellant's statement in his brief filed in this court is as follows:
'The document designated 'Appellant's Statement-Transcript' and endorsed 'Statement of Case in Accordance with 512.120, R.S.Mo. 1949' transferred to this court by the St. Louis Court of Appeals, as it appeared to the St. Louis Court of Appeals from said document that the amount in dispute in this cause is in excess of the monetary jurisdiction of it.
