Bailiff v. Tipping.

Syllabus

Citation.
Qucere i Whether the courts of the United States have jurisdiction, in cases between aliens ?[1] A citation must accompany the writ of error.

The only question in this case would have been, whether one alien could sue another alien, in the courts of the United States. The Circuit Court for the Kentucky district was of opinion, that they had no jurisdiction in such a case. But the writ of error was dismissed for want of a citation.

See ante, p. 263, the opinion of the court, in the case of Mason v. The Ship Blaireau.
