Bingham v. Cabot ( 1798 )


Menu:
  • 3 U.S. 382 (____)
    3 Dall. 382

    BINGHAM, Plaintiff in Error,
    versus
    CABOT, et al.

    Supreme Court of United States.

    *383 Lee, Attorney General, contended for the Plaintiff in error.

    THE COURT were clearly of opinion, that it was necessary to set forth the citizenship (or alienage, where a foreigner was concerned) of the respective parties, in order to bring the *384 case within the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court; and that the record, in the present case, was in that respect defective.

    This cause and many others, in the same predicament, were, accordingly, struck off the docket.
