Guion v. Liverpool, London, & Globe Insurance

Opinion

Mr. Chief Justice 'Waite,

in delivering the opinion of the court in that case, said:

The petition of Guión was for leave to appeal from a decree in a suit to which hé was not a party. ' We decided in Ex parte Cutting, 94 U. S. 14, that such an appeal could not be taken. He had applied for leave to become a party, but this leave ivas not given. So .he is not a party to the decree from which he appeals. But if he is, he has never perfected an appeal by giving the Inecessary security.

Appeal dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
