ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS. The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of the District Court, are stated in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Holmes
delivered the opinion of the .court.
This is a suit begun in a state court, removed to the United States Court, and then, on motion to remand by the plaintiff, dismissed by the latter court, on the ground that the cause of action arose under the patent laws of the United States, that the state court had no jurisdiction, and that therefore the one to which it was removed had none. There is a proper certificate and the case comes here direct from the District Court.
Of course the question depends upon the plaintiff’s declaration. The Fair v. Kohler Die Co., 228 U. S. 22, 25. That may be summed up…
