Rogers v. Calumet National Bank of Hammond
The petition for writ of certiorari is granted. We are of the view that under Silesian-American Corp. v. Markham, 2 Cir., 156 F.2d 793, 796, affirmed, 332 U.S. 469, 68 S.Ct. 179, 92 L.Ed. 81, a state court is without power to review the discretion exercised by the Attorney General of the United States under federal law. The judgment is therefore reversed and the cause remanded to the Appellate Court of Indiana. On remand the Indiana courts are of course free to consider other questions presented by this record in light of General License 94, 12 Fed.Reg. 1457, as it may have affected the definition of 'national' in Executive Order 9095, 7 Fed.Reg. 1971, as amended, 50 U.S.C.A.Appendix, § 6 note, and Executive Order 8389, 5 Fed.Reg. 1400, 12 U.S.C.A. § 95a note. See GMO. Niehaus & Co. v. United States, 153 F.Supp. 428, 139 Ct.Cl. 605.

Rogers v. County of Hennepin
Argued: December 6, 1915. --- Decided: January 17, 1916
Three complainants, claiming to represent themselves and others like situated (numbering altogether 550), instituted this proceeding in equity against Hennepin county, Minnesota, and certain of its officers, in the district court of the United States, seeking an injunction to prevent collection of a tax under $40 assessed against each of them, for the year 1913, on account of his membership in the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. Defendants challenged the court's power to entertain the cause upon the ground that the amount in controversy as to each complainant is the sum charged against him, and demands against all cannot be aggregated in order to confer jurisdiction. The district court sustained this objection upon authority of Wheless v. St. Louis, 180 U.S. 379, 45 L. ed. 583, 21 Sup. Ct. Rep. 402, and dismissed the bill. It committed no error in so doing, and its judgment is affirmed.

United States Supreme Court
140 U.S. 298
Rogers v. Durant
This was an action of assumpsit brought by Henry J. Rogers, January 26, 1884, against William F. Durant and others, as 'surviving partners of the late firm of James W. Davis and associates,' in the circit court of the United States for the northern district of Illinois, upon 20 instruments in writing, bearing various dates from April 12, 1869, to February 12, 1870. Durant alone was served with process. The original declaration consisted of the common counts, and was subsequently amended by the addition of special counts upon each of the pieces of paper sued on, describing eighteen of them as bills of exchange and two as banker's checks. All were payable at sight, or on short time after date, and it was admitted that more than five years had elapsed after they became due before action was brought. The defendant filed eight pleas, which were ordered to stand as pleas to the amended declaration. The fourth plea was as follows: 'And for a further plea in this behalf to said plaintiff's declaration, and each of the counts thereof, the said defendant, William F. Durant, says actio non,' etc., 'because he says that the said several supposed causes of action, and each and all of them, in said plaintiff's declaration, and each of the several counts thereof mentioned, are founded upon bills of exchange, and that no cause of action has accrued upon any or either of said bills of exchange to the said plaintiff, or the holder thereof, within five years next before the bringing of this suit, as the plaintiff hath above complained against him, the said defendant, but that each and all of said supposed causes of action accrued, if at all, after the 10th day of February, A.D. 1849, and prior to the 4th day of April, A. D. 1872; and this he is ready to verify. Wherefore he prays judgment.' etc. To this plea plaintiff interposed a general demurrer, which was overruled by the court, and, the plaintiff electing to abide by his demurrer, (the other pleadings being also at the same time disposed of,) judgment was rendered for the defendant, and the cause brought here on writ of error.
D. J. Wile, for plaintiff in error.
Chas. H. Lawrence, for defendant in error.

Scale for fixing Tolls on the various kinds of Steam Carriages eqivalent to Horse Coaches, calculated on the comparative wear and tear of roads.
Given into the Committee by Mr. Gurney.)
The following Scale of proportions is taken from a Trust where the Tolls fixed are Three-pence for every horse drawing, and One-peony not drawing; and may be applied to determine the Tolls on any other Trust, where the Tolls are fixed at a higher or lower rate:—
N.B.—The Carriage and Load drawn by the Steam Carriage, shall not exceed double the weight of the Drawing Carriage.

Appendix (B.)
Proposed Scale for Turnpike Tolls on Steam Carriages.
Above this weight an arbitrary toll, preventing its exceeding it on narrow Wheels.
If the Tires of the Wheels exceed Three inches, the Tolls should be about one quarter less, and the weight without injury, may extend to three tons and a half. If the Tires of the Wheels are Six inches wide, the Tolls should be about a third less, and the weight allowed to extend as far as four or five Tons.
# Selections from Ancient Irish Poetry/The Hermit's Song

​THE HERMIT'S SONG
I wish, O Son of the living God, O ancient, eternal King, For a hidden little hut in the wilderness that it may be my dwelling.
An all-grey lithe little lark to be by its side, A clear pool to wash away sins through the grace of the Holy Spirit.
Quite near, a beautiful wood around it on every side, To nurse many-voiced birds, hiding it with its shelter.
A southern aspect for warmth, a little brook across its floor, A choice land with many gracious gifts such as be good for every plant.
A few men of sense—we will tell their number— Humble and obedient, to pray to the King:—
Four times three, three times four, fit for every need, Twice six in the church, both north and south:—
Six pairs besides myself, Praying for ever the King who makes the sun shine.
A pleasant church and with the linen altar-cloth, a dwelling for God from Heaven; Then, shining candles above the pure white Scriptures.
One house for all to go to for the care of the body, Without ribaldry, without boasting, without thought of evil.
This is the husbandry I would take, I would choose, and will not hide it: Fragrant leek, hens, salmon, trout, bees.
Raiment and food enough for me from the King of fair fame, And I to be sitting for a while praying God in every place.
# Selections from Ancient Irish Poetry/The Pilgrim at Rome

​THE PILGRIM AT ROME
To go to Rome Is much of trouble, little of profit: The King whom thou seekest here, Unless thou bring Him with thee, thou wilt not find.
# Selections from Ancient Irish Poetry/The Deserted Home

​THE DESERTED HOME
Sadly talks the blackbird here. Well I know the woe he found: No matter who cut down his nest, For its young it was destroyed.
I myself not long ago Found the woe he now has found. Well I read thy song, O bird, For the ruin of thy home.
Thy heart, O blackbird, burnt within At the deed of reckless man: Thy nest bereft of young and egg The cowherd deems a trifling tale.
At thy clear notes they used to come, Thy new-fledged children, from afar; No bird now comes from out thy house, Across its edge the nettle grows.
They murdered them, the cowherd lads, All thy children in one day: One the fate to me and thee, My own children live no more.
There was feeding by thy side Thy mate, a bird from o'er the sea: Then the snare entangled her, At the cowherds' hands she died.
O Thou, the Shaper of the world! Uneven hands Thou layst on us: Our fellows at our side are spared, Their wives and children are alive.
A fairy host came as a blast To bring destruction to our house: Though bloodless was their taking off, Yet dire as slaughter by the sword.
Woe for our wife, woe for our young! The sadness of our grief is great: No trace of them within, without— And therefore is my heart so sad.
# Selections from Ancient Irish Poetry/The Hosts of Faery

​THE HOSTS OF FAERY
White shields they carry in their hands, With emblems of pale silver; With glittering blue swords, With mighty stout horns.
In well-devised battle array, Ahead of their fair chieftain They march amid blue spears, Pale-visaged, curly-headed bands.
They scatter the battalions of the foe, They ravage every land they attack, Splendidly they march to combat, A swift, distinguished, avenging host!
No wonder though their strength be great: Sons of queens and kings are one and all; On their heads are Beautiful golden-yellow manes.
With smooth comely bodies, With bright blue-starred eyes, With pure crystal teeth, With thin red lips.
Good they are at man-slaying, Melodious in the ale-house, Masterly at making songs, Skilled at playing fidchell.
# Selections from Ancient Irish Poetry/The Lament of the Old Woman of Beare

​THE LAMENT OF THE OLD WOMAN OF BEARE
The reason why she was called the Old Woman of Beare was that she had fifty foster-children in Beare. She had seven periods of youth one after another, so that every man who had lived with her came to die of old age, and her grandsons and great-grandsons were tribes and races. For a hundred years she wore the veil which Cummin had blessed upon her head. Thereupon old age and infirmity came to her. 'Tis then she said:
Ebb-tide to me as of the sea! Old age causes me reproach. Though I may grieve thereat— Happiness comes out of fat.
I am the Old Woman of Beare, An ever-new smock I used to wear: To-day—such is my mean estate— I wear not even a cast-off smock.
It is riches Ye love, it is not men: In the time when we lived It was men we loved.
Swift chariots, And steeds that carried off the prize,— Their day of plenty has been, A blessing on the King who lent them!
My body with bitterness has dropt Towards the abode we know: When the Son of God deems it time Let Him come to deliver His behest.
My arms when they are seen Are bony and thin: Once they would fondle, They would be round glorious kings.
When my arms are seen, And they bony and thin, They are not fit, I declare, To be uplifted over comely youths.
The maidens rejoice When May-day comes to them: For me sorrow is meeter, For I am wretched, I am an old hag.
I hold no sweet converse, No wethers are killed for my wedding-feast, My hair is all but grey, The mean veil over it is no pity.
I do not deem it ill That a white veil should be on my head: Time was when many cloths of every hue Bedecked my head as we drank the good ale.
The Stone of the Kings on Femen, The Chair of Ronan in Bregon, 'Tis long since storms have reached them. The slabs of their tombs are old and decayed.
The wave of the great sea talks aloud, Winter has arisen: Fermuid the son of Mugh to-day I do not expect on a visit.
I know what they are doing: They row and row across The reeds of the Ford of Alma— Cold is the dwelling where they sleep.
'Tis 'O my God!' To me to-day, whatever will come of it.
I must take my garment even in the sun: The time is at hand that shall renew me.
Youth's summer in which we were I have spent with its autumn: Winter-age which overwhelms all men, To me has come its beginning.
Amen! Woe is me! Every acorn has to drop. After feasting by shining candles To be in the gloom of a prayer-house!
I had my day with kings Drinking mead and wine: To-day I drink whey-water Among shrivelled old hags.
I see upon my cloak the hair of old age, My reason has beguiled me: Grey is the hair that grows through my skin— 'Tis thus I am an old hag.
The flood-wave And the second ebb-tide— They have all reached me, So that I know them well.
The flood-wave Will not reach the silence of my kitchen: Though many are my company in darkness, A hand has been laid upon them all.
O happy the isle of the great sea Which the flood reaches after the ebb! As for me, I do not expect Flood after ebb to come to me.
There is scarce a little place to-day That I can recognise: What was on flood Is all on ebb.
# Selections from Ancient Irish Poetry/The Monk and his Pet Cat

See w:Pangur Bán
​THE MONK AND HIS PET CAT
I and my white Pangur Have each his special art: His mind is set on hunting mice, Mine is upon my special craft.
I love to rest—better than any fame!— With close study at my little book: White Pangur does not envy me: He loves his childish play.
When in our house we two are all alone— A tale without tedium! We have—sport never-ending! Something to exercise our wit.
At times by feats of derring-do A mouse sticks in his net, While into my net there drops A difficult problem of hard meaning.
He points his full shining eye Against the fence of the wall: I point my clear though feeble eye Against the keenness of science.
He rejoices with quick leaps When in his sharp claw sticks a mouse: I too rejoice when I have grasped A problem difficult and dearly loved.
Though we are thus at all times, Neither hinders the other, Each of us pleased with his own art Amuses himself alone.
He is a master of the work Which every day he does: While I am at my own work To bring difficulty to clearness.
# Selections from Ancient Irish Poetry/The Mothers' Lament at the Slaughter of the Innocents

​THE MOTHERS' LAMENT AT THE SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS
Then, as the executioner plucked her son from her breast, one of the women said:
Why do you tear from me my darling son, The fruit of my womb? It was I who bore him, My breast he drank. My womb carried him about, My vitals he sucked, My heart he filled. He was my life, 'Tis death to have him taken from me. My strength has ebbed, My speech is silenced, My eyes are blinded.
Then another woman said:
It is my son you take from me. I did not do the evil, But kill me—me! Kill not my son! My breasts are sapless, My eyes are wet, My hands shake, My poor body totters. My husband has no son, And I no strength. My life is like death. O my own son, O God! My youth without reward, My birthless sicknesses Without requital until Doom. My breasts are silent, My heart is wrung.
​Then said another woman:
Ye are seeking to kill one, Ye are killing many. Infants ye slay, The fathers ye wound, The mothers ye kill. Hell with your deed is full, Heaven is shut, Ye have spilt the blood of guiltless innocents.
And yet another woman said:
O Christ, come to me! With my son take my soul quickly! O great Mary, Mother of God's Son, What shall I do without my son? For Thy Son my spirit and sense are killed. I am become a crazy woman for my son. After the piteous slaughter My heart is a clot of blood From this day till Doom.
# Selections from Ancient Irish Poetry/The Scribe

​THE SCRIBE
A hedge of trees surrounds me, A blackbird's lay sings to me; Above my lined booklet The trilling birds chant to me.
In a grey mantle from the top of bushes The cuckoo sings: Verily—may the Lord shield me!— Well do I write under the greenwood.

# Ross v. Reed/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
It is now objected by the plaintiffs in error, that the transcript first mentioned contains nothing but a naked designation of number, date, person's name, and number of acres, but no description of the land whatever; not even specifying the county where situate.
To this objection it may be answered, that it is a fact, which will appear from the reports of cases decided in the courts of Tennessee, that the books containing entries for land in the counties of Sullivan and Washington have been lost or destroyed. It is also a fact that the original of the transcript under consideration was directed, by a statute of Tennessee, to be procured and deposited in the commissioner's office; and copies therefrom, certified by the clerk, are declared to be evidence in the courts of that state; but a conclusive answer is furnished by an examination of the bill of exceptions: it was not objected to in the court below.
The same answers may also be given to the objection taken to the copy of the warrant.
Under the laws of North Carolina for appropriating the vacant lands, an entry is made with the entry taker before a warrant issues: the warrant describes the land specified in the entry: the special or locative calls for appropriation of the land can be seen and examined as well from a view of the warrant as from the entry. In consequence of various frauds respecting warrants, they were by law to be submitted to a board of commissioners, and if decided to be valid, the original was deposited with the commissioner, and copies, certified by the clerk, were to be received in evidence. The copy of the warrant, in this case, corresponds with these regulations, and was properly received, nor was it objected to in the court below.
The practice in the courts of Tennessee, of attaching a prior entry to a junior grant, to overreach an elder grant in an action of ejectment, was brought into the view of, and recognized by, this court, in the case of Polk v. Hill et al.; it is, therefore, not now to be departed from.
The location in this case, upon the face of the warrant, appears to be sufficiently certain to be sustained, if the objects called for are identified by the testimony, or unless the calls would equally well suit more than one place. These were questions properly submitted to the jury; there was, therefore, no error in the charge and instruction given on this point. Nor was there error in the residue of the instruction. It is a general principle to presume that public officers act correctly until the contrary be shown. It must, therefore, be presumed that the officer, when he surveyed McDowell's entry, in Reed's name, had sufficient evidence produced to satisfy him that Reed was the owner of it, and this presumption is increased by the act of another officer in issuing the grant; these circumstances furnished prima facie evidence, at least, that he was the owner.
Judgment affirmed.
