Morrison Waite,
Clark v. Hancock — Opinion of the Court
“ In the present crowded state of our docket it becomes us to be specially careful that our jurisdiction is not invoked for delay merely; and, when the record is presented in such a form that we can, without too great inconvenience, inform ourselves of the questions to be decided, we shall be inclined to receive applications of this kind. In the present case, we have a printed record, and it is evident we have no jurisdiction. ”
