Crawford v. Hubbell
| Decision Date | 13 September 1898 |
| Citation | 89 F. 1 |
| Parties | CRAWFORD v. HUBBELL. |
| Court | U.S. District Court — Southern District of New York |

Manifestly, then, this is a cause 'arising under (a) law providing internal revenue. ' U.S. Rev. St. Sec. 629. It has been held in this court that the application of the section last quoted has not been modified, as to removed causes, by the acts of 1887 and 1888. Vinal v. Improvement Co., 34 F. 228. Motion denied.
