Brobst v. Brobst

Opinion

The CHIEF JUSTICE:

Tbe question is one of fact, and can only be determined by an examination of tbe evidence in tbe record; and it has been repeatedly determined that only questions of law upon distinct points in a cause can be brought to this court by certificate. *

An order must be made, therefore, remanding this cause to the Circuit Court, without answer to tbe question certified, for want of jurisdiction.

*
