An appeal from an order discharging a receiver, wherein is involved the disposition of $135 collected by him, will not be dismissed because not within the constitutional limit, $200, for actions at law for the recovery of money.</p> <p>Same. The supreme court will assume jurisdiction of a case where the amount involved is less than $200, where the appeal is in reality an attempt to compel the lower court to obey the mandate of the supreme court upon a former appeal.</p> <p>Same—Decision—-Mandate—Construction. Where the matter involved was the sum of $135 collected by a receiver, and on appeal and reversal or the judgment the appellate court found that the appellant was entitled thereto, and issued a mandate “directing payment to appellant of all money now in the receiver’s possession which he had collected from the city of S. since January 5, 1906,” the mandate was intended to refer to the $135 in dispute, so collected, regardless of whether it was “now in the receiver’s possession,” which was a mere inaptitude of expression.</p> <p>Appeal—Decision—Effect of Reversal—Payment Pending Appeal—Receivers. Money paid out by a receiver under order of court, after notice of appeal from the order, but before the appeal was perfected, is paid out 'at the peril of the receiver, who, upon reversal of the order, must look to the parties to whom it was paid.</p>
