Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern Division of the District of Washington. On Motion to Dismiss Appeal.

1Opinion of the Court

ROSS, Circuit Judge.

This was an action at law brought for the recovery of damages for alleged personal injuries, and the alleged errors of the court below are sought to be brought here for review by means of an appeal. It has been many times decided that an appeal is not the appropriate method for the review of errors alleged to have been committed in an action at law. The motion of the appellee for the dismissal of the appeal must be granted.

Appeal dismissed.
