19 L. Ed. 275; 7 Wall. 692; 1868 U.S. LEXIS 1052
James v. Bank
Opinion
delivered the opinion of the court.
, The regular coúrse, in cases of this description, is to affirm the judgments. The appeal is regularly here, and cannot be dismissed-for want of jurisdiction. The motion, there-, fore, 'must be denied.
Counsel for the appellee has referred us to. an order dis-. missing a writ of error at the last term,- under eircúmstaiices, like those of the case before us. This order must have been entered through inadvertence,' and cannot bé drawn into á' precedent.
