Horace Gray, State National Bank v. St. Louis Rail-Fastening Company…
“ Justice THOMPSON in delivering judgment, it 'is too general, embracing the merits of the whole case, and dos not present any single point or question; and it has been repeatedly ruled in this court that the whole case cannot be brought here, under the act of 1802, upon such a general question.' The subsequent decisions under the successive acts of congress upon this subject are uniformly to the same effect. ”
