WILLIAMS v. EGGLESTON.

No. 210.

170 U.S. 304 (1898)

WILLIAMS, TREASURER, v. EGGLESTON.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided May 2, 1898.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Lewis E. Stanton and Mr. John R. Buck for plaintiff in error. Mr. Olin R. Wood was on their brief.

Mr. Lewis Sperry for defendant in error. Mr. George P. McLean and Mr. Austin Brainard were on his brief.


MR. JUSTICE BREWER, after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the court.

Inasmuch as the plaintiff in error, when sued in the state court, specifically set up certain sections of the Federal Constitution as a bar to the proceedings against him, and the judgment of the state court was that they constituted no such bar, it is not open to question that this court has jurisdiction, and the motion to dismiss must therefore be overruled.
