In this case, the writ of habeas corpus was issued before the examination by the commissioner was entered upon, and the inquiry was confined to the question of his jurisdiction. He had jurisdiction if there was a treaty between this and the demanding country, and the commission of extraditable offences was charged. Offenses were charged to have been committed "contrary to the laws of Prussia," and although the violated laws were prescribed by imperial authority...

It is the settled doctrine of this Court that the concurrent decisions of two courts upon a question of fact will be followed, unless shown to be clearly erroneous, and in this case, after examining the evidence, it seems to this Court that the findings of the court below were justified by it, and that they established that a trust resulted in favor of Buck. The above appellants seek a review in this Court of the judgment of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia in this case affirming a judgment of the Supreme Court of the District enjoining the appellants from the further prosecution of an action of ejectment brought by them against appellee ...

Perry No. 122 Argued January 17, 20, 1902 Decided February 24, 1902 184 U.S. 258 ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT Syllabus The single question for the determination of the court in this case is whether the Comptroller of the Currency, acting under the national banking laws, can validly make more than one assessment upon the shareholders of an insolvent national banking association, and it is held that be can, the language of the statutes on that subject being plain and free from doubt. On November 9, 1899, in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern Distract of Illinois, John Perry, as receiver of the National Bank of Kansas City, brought an action against Clement Studebaker to recover an assessment made by the Comptroller of the Currency on stock held by the defendant in said bank.

It is also contended by other parties than the appellants that there was no real controversy between the parties nominally opposed to each other, and that the litigation was in fact carried on under the direction and control of the plaintiff.

Held that, as these amendments were made at defendant's request, the existing conclusions of law and judgment were not thereby disturbed. The evidence adduced shows that the facts found were sufficient to warrant the court below in holding that the collision in the Mississippi River at New Orleans, whereby the Transportation Company lost a vessel, was the result of the negligence of the officers...

In accordance with a certain act of the General Assembly of Illinois, bonds had been issued by commissioners appointed for the purpose of constructing a levee, and assessments had been made to pay for them against lands alleged to have been benefited; some of the landowners contested judgment on the assessments, and the act was adjudged by the supreme court of the state to be unconstitutional; the bonds and the assessments fell with the act, and the landowners were not estopped from denying its validity.

S. 116 that there was a violation of that rule, if it had been violated, and such violation would have relieved his land from the tax; but he was not entitled to a notice of every step in the proceedings. This is a bill in equity brought by plaintiff in error in the Circuit Court for Wayne County, Michigan, to restrain the sale of his lands for an assessment levied by the City of Detroit for city improvements on the ground that the law under which the ass...
