Bingham v. Cabot

3 U.S. 382 (____) 3 Dall. 382 BINGHAM, Plaintiff in Error, versus CABOT, et al. Supreme Court of United States. *383 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 *384 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.
