Syllabus

<p>Constitutional Law — Corporations—Practice.</p> <p>Where the federal question insisted on in this court, respecting a contract between a State and a corporation in the grant of franchises by the former to the latter, was not raised at the trial in the State eourt, pr where it does not appear unmistakably that the State court either knew or ought to have known prior to its judgment that the judgment, when rendered, would . necessarily involve that question, this court cannot take jurisdiction of the case for the purpose of reviewing the judgment of the State court. It is not sufficient that the question was raised after judgment, on a motion for a rehearing. Brown v. Colorado, .106 U. S. 95, cited and approved.</p>
