by John Marshall Harlan, Wetmore v. Tennessee Copper Company…
“ Each defendant appeared specially,-the defendant the Tennessee corporation, for the purpose of objecting to the jurisdiction of the circuit court of the United States, sitting in Tennessee, to give the relief asked by the bill against it, and the British corporation for the purpose of moving to dismiss the bill because of misjoinder of parties, and because of want of jurisdiction in that court to sustain an action against it in Tennessee for the wrong alleged to have been done to the present plaintiffs. ”
