United States Supreme Court

90 U.S. 507

Chicago and Alton Railroad Company  v.  Wiswall

The writ of error is dismissed upon the authority of Insurance Company v. Comstock. #fn-s-s [1] The order of the Circuit Court remanding the cause to the State court is not a 'final judgment' in the action, but a refusal to hear and decide. The remedy in such a case is by mandamus to compel action, and not by writ of error to review what has been done. #fn-s-s-s [2]
