THIS case was before the court at January term 1834, on an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Pennsylvania, and was dismissed for want of jurisdiction: the complainants, Thomas Jackson and others, in the circuit court, having omitted to state in the body of the bill, filed on the equity side of the court, that the defendant was a citizen of the state of Pennsylvania. 8 Peters 148.

Mr Key, and Mr Peters, now applied to the court for liberty to amend the record, by stating the citizenship of the defendant, and to reinstate the cause on the docket.
