Syllabus

<p>Maynard v. Hecht, 151 U. S. 324, affirmed to the point that, “Where an appeal or writ of error is taken from a District or a Circuit Court in which the jurisdiction of the court alone is in issue, a certificate from the court below of the question of jurisdiction to be decided is an absolute prerequisite for the exercise of jurisdiction here; and if it be wanting this court cannot take jurisdiction.”</p>
