Wiggins v. Gray

THIS case came up on a certificate of a division of opinion between the judges of the Circuit Court of the United States for the northern district of California.

The question certified is stated in the opinion of the court.

The case was argued by Mr. Bayard, upon a brief filed by himself and Mr. Collier, for the complainants, and by Mr. Walker and Mr. Cushing for the defendants.

The question being merely one of practice, which is authoritatively settled by the judgment of this court, it is not thought necessary to give the authorities referred to.

Mr. Chief Justice TANEY delivered the opinion of the court.
