United States Supreme Court

57 U.S. 142

Davenport  v.  Fletcher


A motion has been made for a dismissal of this cause.

1. Because the judgment is not properly described in the writ of error.

2. Because the bond is given to a person who is not a party to the judgment.

3. Because the citation issued, is issued to a person who is not a party.

The objections are all founded in fact, and upon the authority of Samuel Smyth v. Strader, Perine & Co., 12 How. 327. The case is dismissed, with leave, however, to the counsel for the plaintiffs, to move for its reinstatement, during the present term.
