Texas Land and Cattle Company v. Scott
Supreme Court of the United States
Texas Land and Cattle Company v. Scott, 137 U.S. 436 (1890)
11 S. Ct. 140; 34 L. Ed. 730; 1890 U.S. LEXIS 2103
Per Curiam
Texas Land and Cattle Company v. Scott
Opinion
Motion papers should contain in themselves so much of the record as. to enable the court to act understandingly, and these are deficient in that regard. We have, however, examined the record, and the writ of error is dismissed upon the authority of Richmond & Danville Railroad v. Thouron et al., 134 U. S. 45.

- Motion papers should contain enough of the record to enable the court to act understandingly: but when they are deficient in that respect, the court may,.if it pleases, examine the record.
