Date published: Nov 10, 1882

108 U.S. 15 (1882)

Opinion

IN ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE TERRITORY OF UTAH.

Decided November 10th, 1882.

Error — Practice — Statutes. A case not tried in a territorial court by a jury cannot be brought for review by a writ of error.

MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE delivered the opinion of the court.

This writ of error is dismissed on the authority of Hecht v. Boughton, 105 U.S. 235. The case was not tried in the court below by a jury. This, under the act of April 7th, 1874, c. 80, 18 Stat. 27, made it necessary to bring the judgment here for review by appeal and not by writ of error.

Dismissed.
