Syllabus

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA.
Nos. 329, 330, 331.
Argued January 8, 1869.
Decided January 11, 1869.
No question under the 25th section of the Judiciary Act having been passed upon by the court below, this court has no jurisdiction over the judgment of the state court.
The case is stated in the opinion.
Mr. L. Allis for plaintiffs in error.
Mr. R. P. Spalding for defendants in error.

delivered the opinion of the court.

In these cases it appears, on looking into the record, that nó question under the 25th section of the Judiciary Act was passed upon by the court. No ground appears, therefore, of jurisdiction in this court over the judgments of a state court, and the several writs of error must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Dismissed.
