Davidson v. Starcher

Supreme Court of the United States January 11, 1869

Davidson v. Starcher, 154 U.S. 566 (1869)

1869 U.S. LEXIS 1094; 14 S. Ct. 1200

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Chief Justice Chase

delivered the opinion of the court.

In these cases it appears, on looking into the record, that nó question under the 25th section of the Judiciary Act was passed upon by the court. No ground appears, therefore, of jurisdiction in this court over the judgments of a state court, and the several writs of error must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Dismissed.
