The United States, Appellants v. Thomas Curry and Rice Garland
Decision Date | 01 January 1848 |
Citation | 12 L.Ed. 363,6 How. 106,47 U.S. 106 |
Parties | THE UNITED STATES, APPELLANTS, v. THOMAS CURRY AND RICE GARLAND |
Court | U.S. Supreme Court |
WM. SHEARER, D'y U. S. Marshal.
Filed 15th November, 1847.
Mr. Curry therefore moved to dismiss the appeal, on the three following grounds, viz.:——
1. Because it was taken and entered in the clerk's office on the 5th November, 1846, and no citation issued or was served before the next term of this court after the appeal was entered; nor did any issue until the year allowed to appeal in had elapsed. Consequently there was no appeal within the year. See the case of Villabolos v. The United States, decided at the present term of this court.
2. There was no service of the citation of appeal, even if it had issued in time, on the appellees, as is required by law.
3. That no appeal has been directed to be made to the Supreme Court of the United States in this case by the Attorney-General, so far as the record shows, in the manner prescribed by the 9th section of the act of 26th May, 1824.
Mr. Clifford (Attorney-General) contended, on the part of the United States, that the appeal was not taken in fact until the 13th February, 1847; that an appellant may withdraw an appeal and renew it; that the appeal was prayed in open court, when no citation was necessary; that the citation was not necessarily a part of the record, and therefore was no part of a writ of error; that if served at any time before the return day, the service is good.
For these and other views he referred to 4 La. Rep. 318; Code of Practice, art. 594; 2 Smith, Ch. Pr. 14, 37; 2 Cranch, 33; 6 Binney, 106; 6 Mass. 435; 5 Howard, 295; 4 Cranch, 180; 3 Peters, 459; 7 Peters, 147.
Mr. Jones, in support of the motion, contended, that the 9th section of the act of 1824...
