Bassett v. Sherrod

In this case the judgment of the District Court was reversed and the cause remanded. Although the cause is sent back with instructions, the decision of the Court of Civil Appeals does not settle the case; nor is it so averred in the petition for the writ of error. But in order to show jurisdiction in this court it is alleged that the decision of the Court of Civil Appeals is in conflict with certain decisions of this court on two propositions announced in the opinion. We have examined the cases cited in support of the averment, and, while we find that there may be some apparent inconsistency between the propositions stated in the opinion in the present case and those announced in the cases referred to in the petition, we think that the present case is distinguishable from either of those cited, and that there is not that well defined conflict between them which is necessary to give this court jurisdiction of a remanded cause.

Therefore the application is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Application dismissed.
