Bingham v. Cabot
Supreme Court of the United States
Bingham v. Cabot, 3 U.S. 382 (1798)
1 L. Ed. 646; 3 Dall. 382; 1798 U.S. LEXIS 146
Bingham v. Cabot
Opinion
BINGHAM, Plaintiff in Error,
versus
CABOT, et al.
Supreme Court of United States.
*383 Lee, Attorney General, contended for the Plaintiff in error.
THE COURT were clearly of opinion, that it was necessary to set forth the citizenship (or alienage, where a foreigner was concerned) of the respective parties, in order to bring the *384 case within the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court; and that the record, in the present case, was in that respect defective.
This cause and many others, in the same predicament, were, accordingly, struck off the docket.
