“ Chief Justice WAITE, after quoting section 2 of the act of 1887, said: 'It is contended, however, that the prohibition against appeals and writs of error in the act of 1887 applies only to removals on account of prejudice or local influence; but that cannot be so. The section of the statute in which the provision occurs has relation to removals generally, those for prejudice or local influence as well as those for other causes, and the prohibition has no words of limitation. ”

“ In that case the motion to dismiss the writ of error was granted, upon the ground that the provision authorizing appeals or writs of error to be taken direct to this court, 'in any case in which the jurisdiction of the court is in issue,' does not make an appeal or writ of error allowable before the cause has proceeded to final judgment. It is therefore our opinion that the revisory power of this court cannot be invoked on this record, although, by the motion to remand, the jurisdiction of the circuit court was put in issue. The writ of error is dismissed. ”
