Syllabus

<p>Where the bill presents a case of diversity of citizenship only, the decree of the Circuit Court of Appeals is final: An appeal to this court must be dismissed.</p> <p>An allegation in a pleading that by reason of contracts with a municipality plaintiff had a vested right of property in such contracts or in their performance and that a refusal to perform amounts to deprivation of such property does not give the allegation any other character than that of one alleging ordinary breach of contract.</p> <p>A constitutional question cannot be imported into the case in that manner.</p>
