Dorris Bros. v. United States
Dorris Bros. v. United States
Opinion of the Court
This is an action at law, in which the judgment below was for $1. As a justification for the appeal from a judgment so trivial appellants explain that it is a “test ease,” in which they desire a construction of section 2117 Rev. St. U. S. (25 USCA § 179), which declares that:
“Every person who drives or otherwise conveys any stock of horses, mules, or cattle, to range and feed on any land belonging to any Indian or Indian tribe, without the consent of such tribe, is liable to a penalty of $1 for each animal of sueh stock.”
But trial by jury was waived, and the record presents no question which we are authorized to review. Neither the complaint
Affirmed.
