¶1APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

¶2JELitz v. National Metropolitan Bank, 111 IT. S. 722, was decided, after elaborate argument and careful consideration, and is adhered to by the court.

¶3Mr. S. S. Henkle for appellant.

¶4Mr. Leigh Robinson and Mr. James Lowndes for appellee.

¶5Mr. Chief Justice Waite

¶6delivered the opinion of the court.

¶7A motion has been made to dismiss this appeal because the value of the matter in dispute does not exceed $2,500. From the facts appearing in the record, supplemented as they have been by affidavits as to value, we are satisfied this motion should be overruled, and it is so ordered.

¶8It is conceded in the brief filed- for the appellee “ that the essential facts in this case are substantially like those in Hitz v. The National Metropolitan Bank, 111 U. S. 722.” That case was decided on full consideration after an elaborate argument on both sides, and we are satisfied with the conclusion then reached. We therefore reverse this decree, on that authority, and remand the cause, with instructions to enter a decree in accordance with the prayer of the bill, enjoining the appellee McGrew from selling, or attempting to sell,- the marital right or interest of the. husband of the appellant in the property described in the bilk for the paymeht of his judgment against the husband. Reversed.
