Arkansas v. Schlierholz

Syllabus

<p>The authority of this court to review the action of the court below in this case must be found in one of three classes of cases, in which, by section 5 of the judiciary act of March 8, 1891, an appeal or writ of error may be taken from a District or Circuit Court direct to this court. The classes of cases alluded to are as follows: 1. Cases in which the jurisdiction of the court is in issue, ia which class of cases the question of jurisdiction alone is to be certified from the court below for decision; 2. Cases involving the construction or application of the Constitution of the United States; and, 3. Cases in which the constitutionality of anjr law of the United States, or the validity or construction of any treaty made under its authority, is drawn in question. The court is of opinion that the case at bar is not embraced within either of those classes of cases.</p>
