United States Supreme Court
180 U.S. 356
Bird v. United States
Argued: January 21, 1901. --- Decided: February 25, 1901
Messrs. L. T. Michener, W. W. Dudley, and Malony & Cobb for plaintiff in error.
Assistant Attorney General Beck for defendant in error.
Statement by Mr. Justice Shiras:
At a term of the United States district court in and for the district of Alaska, Homer Bird, the plaintiff in error, was tried on a charge of having murdered one J. H. Hurlin on the 27th day of September, A. D. 1898. On December 6, 1899, the jury found the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment, and on December 13, 1899, a motion for a new trial having been overruled, a sentence of death by hanging on February 9, A. D. 1900, was pronounced. A bill of exceptions was settled and signed by the trial judge on February 8, 1900, and a writ of error from the Supreme Court of the United States was allowed. The evidence contained in the bill of exceptions shows that a party of five persons, composed of Homer Bird, J. H. Hurlin, Robert L. Patterson, Charles Scheffler, and Naomi Strong, sailed up the Yukon river, in the latter part of July, 1898, on an adventure in search of gold. They traveled on a small steam launch, towing a scow laden with an outfit of clothes and provisions sufficient to last them about two years. In the latter part of September, 1898, they reached a point on the river about 600 miles from St. Michaels, at the mouth of the Yukon, when they determined to go into winter quarters, and there began the construction of a cabin on the banks of the stream. On September 27, 1898, in a quarrel that had arisen about a partition of the supplies, Hurlin was shot and killed by Bird. At the trial in December, 1899, there were three witnesses who had been present at the time of the homicide, Scheffler, Strong and Bird, the accused. As the fact of the killing of Hurlin by Bird was not denied, the trial turned on the question whether the killing was malicious and wilful or was in self-defense.
Mr. Justice Shiras delivered the opinion of the court:

# Buzard v. Houston/Dissent Bradley

* Dissenting Opinion Bradley
United States Supreme Court
119 U.S. 347
Buzard v. Houston
I dissent from the judgment in this case so far as it directs the bill to be dismissed by the court below for want of equitable jurisdiction. The complainant had been induced to give up a contract for cattle made to him by the defendant, and to accept in lieu of it an assignment from the defendant of a contract which he had from a third person who was insolvent, and whose insolvency was not known by the complainant, but was known by the defendant, though he asserted that the third person was entirely responsible. The bill seeks to abrogate and set aside the assignment, and to restore to complainant his original contract, on account of the fraud and misrepresentation practiced upon him. Having been induced to pay $15,000 in the transaction, and suffered a large amount of damages, he adds to the relief sought a prayer to have his damages assessed and decreed. This is the case made by the bill. I think it is clearly within the scope of equity jurisdiction, both on account of the fraud, and from the nature of the relief asked by the complainant; namely, the cancellation of an agreement, and the reinstatement of a contract which he had been fraudulently induced to cancel. If the bill had prayed nothing else, it seems to me clear that it would have presented a case for equity. A court of law could not give adequate relief. The existence of the assignment, and the cancellation of the first agreement, would embarrass the plaintiff in an action at law. It is different from the case of a lost note of bond. Fraud is charged, and documents exist which in equity ought not to exist. I think the complainant is entitled to have the fraudulent transaction wiped out, and to be restored to his original status.

# Castes and Tribes of Southern India/Aruva

​Aruva.—The Aruvas are an interesting caste of cultivators along the sea-coast in the Berhampūr taluk of Ganjam. They say that they are descended from the offspring of alliances between Patānis (Muhammadans)and Oriya women. Like other Oriya castes, they have a number of titles, e.g., Nayako, Pātro, Podhāno, Ponda, Mondolo, and Mollana, some of which seem to be exogamous, and there are also numerous exogamous septs or bamsams. The headman is styled Nāyako, and he is assisted by a Bhollobhaya. Both these offices are hereditary. The Aruvas say that they belong to two Vēdas, viz., the males to Atharva Veda, and the females to Yajur Vgda. Muhammadans are believed by them to be Atharvavēdis.
A member of the caste, called Mollana, officiates on ceremonial occasions. A pure Oriya casteman will not allow his son to marry his sister's daughter, but this is permitted in most places by the Aruvas. The marriage ceremonial, except in a few points of detail, conforms to the general Oriya type. On the day before the wedding, a milk-post of bamboo is erected, and in front of it a new cloth, and various articles for worship are placed. When the fingers of the contracting couple are linked together, and at other stages of the marriage rites, the Mollana recites certain formulae, in which the words Bismillahi and Allah occur.
The dead are always buried. In former days, stone slabs, with Arabic or Hindustani legends in Oriya characters inscribed on them, used to be set up over the grave. For these, two sticks are now substituted. The corpse of a dead person is sewn up in a kind of sack. ​As it is being lowered into the grave, the Mollana recites formulae, and those present throw earth over it before the grave is filled in. They then take their departure,and the Mollana, standing on one leg, recites further formulae. On the following day, bitter food, consisting of rice and margosa (Melia Azadirachta) leaves, is prepared, and given to the agnates. On the third day after death, the burial-ground is visited, and, after water has been poured over the grave, a cloth is spread thereon. On this relations of the deceased throw earth and food.A purificatory ceremony, in which ghi (clarified butter)is touched, is performed on the fifteenth day. On the fortieth day, the Mollana officiates at a ceremony in which food is offered to the dead person.
The Aruvas do not take part in any Muhammadan ceremonial, and do not worship in mosques. Most of them are Paramarthos, and all worship various Hindu deities and Tākurānis (village gods). At their houses, the god is represented by a mass of mud of conical shape, with an areca nut on the top of it. In recent times, a number of Aruva families, owing to a dispute with the Mollana, do not employ him for their ceremonials, in which they follow the standard Oriya type. They neither interdine nor intermarry with other sections of the community, and have become an independent section thereof.

# Broad River Power Company v. South Carolina ex rel. Daniel (282 U.S. 187)/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
282 U.S. 187
Broad River Power Company v. South Carolina ex rel. Daniel
Argued: Dec. 15, 1930. ---
At the last term the writ of certiorari in this cause was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. 281 U.S. 537, 50 S.C.t. 401, 74 L. Ed. 1023. A rehearing afterwards was ordered by the Court (282 U.S. 795, 51 S.C.t. 38, 75 L. Ed. -) and the rehearing recently has been had. Upon this further consideration the Court adheres to the view that the writ of certiorari should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction, but the members of the Court differ in the reasons which lead to that decision:
Mr. Justice VAN DEVANTER, Mr. Justice McREYNOLDS, Mr. Justice SUTHERLAND, and Mr. Justice BUTLER concur in this disposition of the case, upon the rehearing, for the following reasons: The state court found that the petitioners here 'did not make a bona fide effort to make the street railway business a success,' but planned to discontinue it and pursued a course tending to depress the business and make it unremunerative; that 'if the street car system had been properly maintained, as it could and should have been, the same would have been patronized by the public generally'; and that the 'street railway system can be made to yield a fair return if properly managed and properly maintained.' These findings, although opposed to part of the evidence, have such support in other parts that they should be accepted here. In the presence of such findings, so supported, it is apparent that on the present record petitioners are not in a position to maintain that enforced operation of the street railway system will be in contravention of rights secured by the due process of law clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. An essential basis in matter of fact for the right sought to be asserted under that constitutional provision is wanting; and, as this is true regardless of whether the electric street railway franchise be independent or so unified with other franchises as to be interdependent, there is no present need to consider or determine its status in that regard.
The CHIEF JUSTICE, Mr. Justice HOLMES, Mr. Justice BRANDEIS, and Mr. Justice STONE, adhere to the views expressed in the opinion heretofore delivered. 281 U.S. 537, 50 S.C.t. 401, 74 L. Ed. 1023.
Mr. Justice ROBERTS, considering himself disqualified, took no part in the decision of this case.
Per Mr. Chief Justice HUGHES.
