United States v. Haynes
This was an action brought by the United States against the principal and sureties on the official bond of a collector of customs, to recover the sum of $634.60, which he had refused to pay over, and claimed the right to retain as part of the emoluments of his office. The circuit court gave judgment for the defendants, and the United States sued out this writ of error, which the defendants in error now move to dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
Sol. Gen. Jenks, for plaintiff in error.
Chas. W. Ogden, for defendants in error.
