Morrison Waite,
United States v. Hailey — Opinion of the Court
“ Under such circumstances, the only proper way of bringing it here for review would have been by writ of error. Stringfellow v. Cain, 99 U.S. 610; U.S. v. Railroad Co., 105 U.S. 263; Hecht v. Boughton, Id. 235; Woolf v. Hamilton, 108 U.S. 15; S.C.. 1 Sup. Ct. Rep. 139. In point of fact, however, there has been neither a writ of error, nor an appeal, nor a citation, nor an appearance by the defendant or respondent. It is clear, therefore, we have no jurisdiction, and the case is dismissed. ”
