UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DECISIONS ON-LINE

Since the passage of the Act of March 3, 1891, this Court has no jurisdiction to review judgments or decrees of the district and circuit courts, directly by appeal or writ of error in cases not falling within § 5 of that act.

In cases over which this Court possesses neither original nor appellate jurisdiction, it cannot grant mandamus.

The facts are stated in the opinion.
