Counsel

Mr. E. H. Steele, of counsel for petitioners,

In re Craft

Opinion

Mr. Chief Justice Waite

delivered the opinion of the court.

This motion is denied. The amount in dispute is less than $5000, and we cannot discover that the decree involves the *374 decision of any such federal question as will authorize an appeal to this court under § 2 of the act of • March 3, 1885, 23 Stat. 443, c. 355. An injunction restraining a person from prosecuting an ordinary suit in replevin in a court established under the authority of the United States, does not necessarily involve a question of “ the validity of a treaty or statute of or an authority exercised under the United States.”

Denied.
