3 Dall. 382

BINGHAM, Plaintiff in Error,

versus

CABOT, et al.

Supreme Court of United States.

Lee, Attorney General, contended for the Plaintiff in error.

THE COURT were clearly of opinion, that it was necessary to set forth the citizenship (or alienage, where a foreigner was concerned) of the respective parties, in order to bring the case within the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court; and that the record, in the present case, was in that respect defective.

This cause and many others, in the same predicament, were, accordingly, struck off the docket.
