Syllabus

<p>1. Removal of Causes — Sufficiency of Petition — Alleging Diversity of Citizenship.</p> <p>The fact that there are a large number of parties plain-fill or defendant does not take a case out of the well-settled rule that, in order to show the jurisdiction of the federal court on removal the petition therefor must allege the citizenship of each party. It is not sufficient to allege a diversity of citizenship in general terms.</p> <p>H1. Averments of citizenship to show jurisdiction in federal courts, see note to Ship v. Williams, 10 C. C. A. 261.</p> <p>See Removal of Causes, vol. 42, Cent. Dig. §§ 170, 172, 173.</p>
