Syllabus

<p>United States v. Bowen, 100 U. S. 508, affirmed, to the point that where the meaning- of the Revised Statutes is plain, the court cannot recur to the original statutes to see if errors were committed in revising them, but it may do so, when necessary to construe doubtful language used in the revision.</p> <p>Jefferson v. Driver, 117 U. S. 272, affirmed and applied to the point that the removal of a cause from a State court on the ground of local prejudice can be had, only where all the parties to the suit on one side are citizens of different States from those on the other : and that the provision as to the removal of a separable controversy under the second subdivision of Rev. Stat, § 689 has no application to removals under the third subdivision.</p>
