- Summary
- The justices of the Supreme Judicial Court were delivered a writ of error of 12 August issued by the Supreme Court of the United States to "'the Judges of the Supreme Court holden in and for the State of Massachusetts.'" Since the writ was not "directed to our Court, we are of opinion we cannot regularly take notice of it." If the Supreme Court of the United States should issue a new writ, "we shall then give the question deliberate consideration."
