Supreme Court of the United States, 1872

Germain v. Mason

Supreme Court of the United States · Decided April 22, 1872 · Chase

154 U.S. 587; 14 S. Ct. 1170; 20 L. Ed. 689; 1872 U.S. LEXIS 1218 (United States Reports)

Counsel

Mr. A. M. Woodfolk, Mr. F. A. Dick and Mr. George G. Wright for plaintiffs in error., Mr. J. Hubley Ashton and Mr. Nathaniel Wilson for defendant in error.

Opinion

Mr. Chief Justice Chase

delivered the opinion of the court.

The writ of error in this case, as in the case of Wells v. McGregor, 13 Wall. 188, decided at this term, bears the test of the clerk of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Montana and not the test of the Chief Justice of this court.

It must therefore be dismissed.
