Under this act, one Vose, professing to have claims against the vessel, had a warrant issued and the vessel seized. For the purpose of discharging the vessel from the custody of the sheriff, and in pursuance of the statute, one Cockroft gave his bond to Vose, whereby he became bound to pay to Vose the amount of all such claims and demands "as shall have been exhibited, which shall be established to have been subsisting liens" upon the vessel pursuant to the statute above mentioned.

C. Benedict to dismiss a writ of error to the supreme court of New York, taken under the assumption that the case was within the 25th section of the Judiciary Act; a section abundantly known to most lawyers practicing in this Court, but which as it makes the basis of the judgment in this and several cases which follow, is partially copied for the benefit of any who do not at all times recall its phraseology. </p> <p> "SEC. 25. <em> And be it further enacted </em> that a final judgment or decree in any suit, in the highest court of law or equity of a state in which a decision in the suit could be had " </p> <p> <a class="page-number" id="6"> Page 81 U. S. 6 </a> </p> <p> "Where is drawn in question the validity of a treaty or statute of, or an authority exercised under, the United States, and the decision is AGAINST their validity;" </p> <p> "Or where is drawn in question the validity of a statute of or an authority exercised under any state, on the ground of their being repugnant to the Constitution, treaties, or laws of the United States, and the decision is IN FAVOR of such their validity," </p> <p> "Or where is drawn in question the construction of any clause of the Constitution, or of a treaty, or statute of, or commission held under the United States, and the decision is AGAINST the title, right, privilege, or exemption, specially set up or claimed by either party, under such clause of the said Constitution, treaty, statute, or commission, may be reexamined and reversed or affirmed in the Supreme Court of the United States upon a writ of error." </p> <p> The case was thus: </p> <p> The State of New York passed "An act to provide for the collection of demands against ships and vessels," and authorizing warrants of attachment and seizure of the vessel, much in the style of admiralty proceedings. Under this act, one Vose, professing to have claims against the vessel, had a warrant issued and the vessel seized. For the purpose of discharging the vessel from the custody of the sheriff, and in pursuance of the statute, one Cockroft gave his bond to Vose, whereby he became bound to pay to Vose the amount of all such claims and demands "as shall have been exhibited, which shall be established to have been subsisting liens" upon the vessel pursuant to the statute above mentioned. On this bond Vose brought the suit below, setting forth in his declaration or petition the warrant, seizure, and giving of the bond sued on, all spoken of as having been made in pursuance of the statute. </p> <p> The defense, which did not deny in any way the validity of the statute, though it professed not to know more than that there had been a "pretended seizure," and a discharge, chiefly relied on the alleged fact that the supplies furnished had not been furnished on the credit of the vessel, but on </p> <p> <a class="page-number" id="7"> Page 81 U. S. 7 </a> </p> <p> the credit of the master exclusively. The case was tried upon that issue and judgment entered in favor of the plaintiffs. From this judgment the defendants appealed to the General Term, by which the judgment was affirmed. From that judgment an appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals, which affirmed the judgment, and on the remittitur from the Court of Appeals final judgment was entered in the supreme court in favor of the plaintiffs. </p> <p> The published opinions of the Court of Appeals showed that the constitutionality of the statute was not raised in the supreme court or in the General Term, and was discussed for the first time in the Court of Appeals. It was there argued by counsel that, the obligors having given the bond and got the benefits of the statute by having their vessel released, were estopped to deny the validity of the statute under which they took that benefit. In the decision of the Court of Appeals the opinion is expressed that the statute was invalid as being against the provision of the United States. </p> <p> <a class="page-number" id="8"> Page 81 U. S. 8 </a> </p> <p> </p> <p> MR. JUSTICE MILLER delivered the opinion of the Court. </p> <p> It does not appear to us that the Court of Appeals, in which the case was decided, held the state statute to be valid, and if it did not, the jurisdiction of this Court cannot be invoked to declare it invalid. </p> <p> The suit before us was an action on a bond given by the owners of the vessel and their sureties to release her when she had been attached in the original proceeding to enforce the lien, and several questions were raised in the defense, none of which seems, from the pleading, or anything else in the record, to have been founded on the invalidity of the statute. One of these questions evidently was whether the credit was given to the owner personally or to the vessel, and another was whether, after the bond had been given and the vessel released, the obligors in the bond were not estopped to deny the validity of the proceeding in the attachment suit. </p> <p> Now if the court decided the case on this latter ground, as it may have done, or on any of the other grounds except the validity of the statute, we have no jurisdiction. </p> <p> The inference from the condition of the record that the court did not decide the statute valid might receive confirmation </p> <p> <a class="page-number" id="9"> Page 81 U.
