A non-example of jurisdiction would be a situation where a court does not have the authority to hear a case because it falls outside of its geographical or subject matter boundaries. For example, a state court would not have jurisdiction over a federal criminal case.
Jurisdiction is a court's authority to decide a case or issue a decree. Jurisdiction can arise from a geographical area, subject matter or personal jurisdiction over a person.The first court to hear a case has original jurisdiction. In some cases more than one court may have original jurisdiction depending on the subject matter. We call that concurrent jurisdiction and the litigant has the right to choose the court in which to file.You can read about the different aspects of jurisdiction at the link provided below.
No, general jurisdiction deals with subject matter jurisdiction whereas original jurisdiction deals with hierarchical jurisdiction.

Jurisdiction is the area in which a person or institution has authority. It has particular reference to courts and legislatures, but can refer to any kind of official. Jurisdiction can be a geographical or conceptual area. E.g. "I'm sorry sir, I know you're a policeman in Texas, but you have no jurisdiction in Alberta, so hand over your gun." describes a geographical area. "Yes Mrs. Smith, I know you would like the Town Council to pass a by-law cutting off diplomatic relations with Russia, but Foreign Relations is not in the Council's jurisdiction." describes a conceptual jurisdiction.
The distinction is the same as that between a "person" and a "subject." Personal Jurisdiction is related to whether the court in question has the power, or jurisdiction, to adjudicate claims involving this person. Personal Jurisdiction does not contemplate what the claim is for, only who is bringing it or defending it. Subject Matter Jurisdiction is related to whether the court in question has the power, or jurisdiction, to adjudicate claims of this subject. A good example for this would be the Tax Court. It's Subject Matter Jurisdiction only extends to tax issues and nothing else.

Subject matter jurisdiction is the authority of a court to hear the type of case that is brought before it. It is jurisdiction over the type of claim brought by the plaintiff. For example, a small claims court only has subject matter jurisdiction of claims up to a certain dollar amount. Federal courts have jurisdiction over claims involving federal laws.
