Supreme Court of United States.

Decided March 18, 1901.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. W.C. Beecher for Li Sing.

Mr. Assistant Attorney General Hoyt for the United States.


MR. JUSTICE SHIRAS, after making the above statement, delivered the opinion of the court.

The first contention on behalf of the petitioner is that the collector of customs at Malone had exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine the right of petitioner to enter the country; that any error committed by the collector could only be reviewed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and that, consequently, the commissioner had no jurisdiction to act in the present case.
