Kenyon v. Squire

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Stiles, J.

This was an application to transfer the cause to the United States circuit court for the district of Washington, for the alleged reason that it was a cause pending at the time when the Territory of Washington became the State of Washington, and whereof the circuit court of the United States might have had jurisdiction under the laws of the United States, at the time of the commencement of the action, had the circuit court then been in existence.
