Jecker, Torre, and Company v. Montgomery

THIS was an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the District of Columbia, holden in and for the county of Washington.

The case is stated in the opinion of the court.

It was argued by Mr. Coxe and Mr. Nelson, for the appellants, and Mr. Key and Mr. Johnson, for the appellees. The arguments consisted chiefly in comments upon the evidence upon both sides, and, for the appellants, in the legal objection that the libel should have been filed in the name of the United States, instead of an individual.

Mr. Justice DANIEL delivered the opinion of the court.
