Syllabus
<p>The order of a Circuit Court remanding, for want of jurisdiction to hear it, a case removed from a State court into it, is not a “ final judgment ” in that sense which authorizes a writ of error. The remedy of the party against whose will the suit has been remanded, is by mandamus to compel action, and not by a writ of error to review what has been done.</p>
