United States Supreme Court
502 U.S. 1017
Smith v. United States
No. 90-7347
On petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
Opinion of Justice STEVENS respecting the denial of the petition for writ of certiorari.
For the reasons stated in Justice BLACKMUN'S dissenting opinion, there is no escape from the conclusion that the Court of Appeals committed error in this case. I write only to note that I find it difficult to articulate an acceptable theory of discretionary review that would explain both the Court's denial of certiorari in this case and its summary reversal in Mireles v. Waco, --- U.S. ----, 112 S.Ct. 286, 116 L.Ed.2d 9 (per curiam ) and Hunter v. Bryant, --- U.S. ----, 112 S.Ct. 534, --- L.Ed.2d ---- (per curiam ).
Justice THOMAS took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition.
Justice BLACKMUN, with whom Justice O'CONNOR and Justice SOUTER join, dissenting.

# Smith v. United States (94 U.S. 97)/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
94 U.S. 97
Smith v. United States
It is clearly within our discretion to refuse to hear a criminal case in error, unless the convicted party, suing out the writ, is where he can be made to respond to any judgment we may render. In this case it is admitted that the plaintiff in error has escaped, and is not within the control of the court below, either actually, by being in custody, or constructively, by being out on bail. If we affirm the judgment, he is not likely to appear to submit to his sentence. If we reverse it and order a new trial, he will appear or not, as he may consider most for his interest. Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to hear and decide what may prove to be only a moot case.
This cause was docketed here Dec. 29, 1870. In due time a brief was filed on behalf of the plaintiff in error, and the cause has been regularly continued at every term since, no one appearing here in person to represent the plaintiff. At this term we dismissed the writ, on motion of the United States, for want of prosecution, but have since reinstated it on motion of the counsel for the plaintiff in error, who now moves to have it set down for argument. This motion we deny, and order that, unless the plaintiff in error submit himself to the jurisdiction of the court below on or before the first day of our next term, the cause be left off the docket after that time. The People v. Genet, 59 N. Y. 80; Leftwich's Case, 20 Gratt. 723; Commonwealth v. Andrews, 97 Mass. 544; see also 31 Me. 592.
Motion to set down the case for argument denied.

LANSINGBURGH, a village of Rensselaer co., New York, on the E. bank of the Hudson river, opposite the mouth of the Mohawk, and joining Troy on the south; pop. in 1870, 6,372. It has communication with Troy by the Troy and Boston railroad and by horse cars, and by the latter with Waterford, 1 m. N. on the other side of the river. It is handsomely laid out, with streets crossing each other at right angles and shaded with trees, and has an excellent fire department. Besides a large number of brush factories, for which Lansingburgh is particularly noted, there are two manufactories of oil cloth, one of valves, two of crackers, and one of knit goods. It has a national bank, five hotels, three public schools, a female seminary, a Roman Catholic school, a weekly newspaper, and seven churches.

​LAKE OF THE WOODS (Fr. Lac des Bois), a body of water in the Northwest territories of Canada, on the frontier of Minnesota, about lat. 49° N., lon. 95° W. It is 300 m. in circumference, and has an irregular outline indented with bays. A vast number of small islands dot its surface. The Winnipeg river flows from it on the north, and it receives Rainy river on the south. Wild rice grows plentifully along its shores.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Ladrone Islands

Edition of 1879. See also Mariana Islands on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
LADRONE, Marianne, or Mariana Islands, a group of about 20 islands belonging to Spain, in the north Pacific ocean, N. of the Caroline islands, between lat. 13° and 21° N., and lon. 144° and 146° E.; area, 416 sq. m.; pop. about 10,000. When the Spanish missionaries sent by Queen Mariana, widow of Philip IV. of Spain, established themselves on the islands toward the end of the 17th century, the natives numbered 40,000. The present inhabitants are mostly descendants of settlers from Mexico and the Philippines. The islands are of volcanic formation, mountainous, well watered, and well wooded. The breadfruit, banana, and cocoanut grow to perfection, and the soil is productive in sugar, rice, corn, tobacco,
cotton, and indigo. The climate is salubrious, the heat being tempered by the trade winds. Horses, cattle, and llamas were early introduced by the Spaniards; wild hogs are numerous and very large. The principal islands are Guahan, Rota, Aguijan, Saypan or Seypan, and Tinian. Lord Anson visited Tinian in 1742, and found there cyclopean ruins. The seat of government is at San Ignacio de Agaña, on the island of Guahan, the most southerly of the group, where there is also a good fortified harbor. Asuncion and Pagon, in the north, are noted for their volcanoes. The general navigation is rendered dangerous by shoals and currents. A pearl fishery exists on the coast of Saypan. Magellan discovered the islands shortly before his death in 1521, and named them the Ladrones from the thievish disposition of the natives. They were afterward called the Lazarus islands, and in 1667, when the Jesuits settled there, they were renamed Marianne or Mariana in honor of the Spanish queen.—There are two other small groups called Ladrones: one in China, situated at the mouth of the bay of Canton, which is resort of pirates; the other in the Pacific, 10 m. off the coast of Colombia.

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Lalande, Joseph Jérôme Le Français de

Edition of 1879. See also Jérôme Lalande on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​LALANDE, Joseph Jérôme Le Français de, a French astronomer, born in Bourg-en-Bresse, July 11, 1732, died in Paris, April 4, 1807. His family name was Le Français, but he assumed that of Lalande at the outset of his scientific career. He was educated in the college of the Jesuits at Lyons, and was sent to Paris to study law; but making the acquaintance of De Lisle, he devoted himself to astronomy under him and Le Monnier. The latter in 1751 procured him a scientific mission to Berlin, where he was to ascertain, through astronomical observations, the distance between the earth and the moon, while La Caille was making similar observations at the Cape of Good Hope. He was presented to Frederick the Great, and, although but 19 years old, was made a member of the Berlin academy of sciences. On his return in 1753, he was elected to the French academy of sciences, assisted Clairaut in his researches on comets, especially that of Halley, and in 1760 became the editor of the Connaissance des Temps, which he conducted till 1775, and subsequently from 1794 till his death. In 1762 he succeeded De Lisle in the chair of astronomy at the collége de France, and during 45 years delivered lectures on that science. He reached the height of his fame when he published a map illustrating the two transits of Venus which were to take place in 1761 and 1769, and showing the exact time of those transits for all countries on the globe. About the same time he announced to the world the results of the calculations through which the distance between the sun and the earth had been definitely ascertained. He gave much attention to navigation, and delivered lectures and published works on this subject, which are highly valued. But the popularity acquired by his scientific labors did not satisfy his thirst for fame; and in order to keep public curiosity constantly alive, he stationed himself on the Pont-Neuf to give astronomical explanations to passers by; announced that he would travel in a balloon from Paris to Gotha, where a scientific congress was to be held; had it reported that he ate spiders, caterpillars, worms, and other insects; and professed the boldest atheism. Lalande's principal work is the Traité d'astronomie (2 vols. 4to, Paris, 1764), which exceeded in utility all previous treatises of the kind.

​LAKE, Gerard, viscount, an English general, born July 27, 1744, died Feb. 20, 1808. He successively served in the seven years' and the American war, and under the duke of York in Holland, became general, and was Commander-in-chief during the Irish rebellion of 1797–'8. In 1800 he went to India in the same capacity, and achieved victory after victory during the Mahratta war (1803), storming Alighur, occupying Delhi and making the old and blind Mogul emperor Shah Allum the vassal of England, capturing Agra, and winning a decisive battle near Laswaree (Nov. 1), which brought the districts N. of the Chumbul into British possession, and for which he was made a baron (Sept. 1, 1804). Subsequently he was engaged in warfare against Holkar (1804–'5), and after his return to England he was made a viscount, Oct. 31, 1807. The third viscount, Warwick Lake, dying June 24, 1848, without male issue, the title became extinct.
