Stewart v. Warner ( 1803 )

By the CouRT.

The question, in this case, is, whether a sentence of condemnation of a foreign court, of competent jurisdiction, can be avoided on account of fraud práctised in obtaining it, when thus called in question collaterally, in this country ; and the Court are of opinion, that such sentence cannot thus be called in ques* tion, but must remain in full force, until avoided in some regular mode, in the country where it passed.
