United States Supreme Court

58 U.S. 3

Shields  v.  Thomas

THIS was an appeal from the district court of the United States for the northern district of Iowa.

Mr. Platt Smith moved to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction, as the amount of none of the several decrees was for $2,000, and referred to the case of Oliver et al. v. Alexander et al. 6 Peters, 143.

The motion was opposed by Mr. Gillett.

Mr. Chief Justice TANEY delivered the opinion of the court.
