Important Decision by Judge Doniphan
---Kenton Circuit Court.

| wv. Il. Scales Us. A. 81. Johns, and j. w.
4 Scales Us. A. II, Johus.-The motion to re-
move these cases to the Federal Court under
the recent Act of Congress, providing for
the removal of actions brought in the State
Courts for trespasses committed by officers
and other persons under authority of the
/ President or officers acting under him. was
decided yesterday morning, the Court over
ruling the motion for the removal. The
Court stated that portion of the defendants
had answered and denied having had any
! thing whatever to do with the burning of
the mill or the Imprisonment of Scales
These defendants did not therefore come
within the purview of the act, and as to
them, no ground existed for the REMOVAL
The rule established, under the Judiciary
Act of 1889, was that oil the defendants
must be of the description of persons con-
templated by the act, in order to authorize
the removal. Where part came within the
purview of the act, and part did not, it had
alwsys been held that the case could not be
removed. The same rule should, by anal
ogy, apply to these cases.
But independently of these considera-
tions, the Court after carefully examining
the question, was of opinion that Congress
did not possess the power, under the Con-
stitu tien, to authorize the removal ofa case
of this kind; at least, not after the State
Court had acquired jurisdiction of the case.
Congress evidently did not consider that
they possessed this power when they pass
ed the Judiciary Act of 1888, for they re-
quired the party to make the application
before the Court had taken any jurisdiction
of the case, and both the State and Fedora
Courts have always held accordingly. So
far have the Courts gone in upholding the
Jurisdiction of the State Courts, that when
the defendant has made the application be-
fore the Jurisdiction attached, but his petit
ton for the removal was defective, and was
so adjudged by the State Courts, the defect
could not be amended and the application
then made, for the reason that the State
Court acquires jurisdiction by passing upon
the defective petition. In the present case
the defendants had all submitted to the
Jurisdiction of this Court before they filed
their petition for a removal. They had, at
form er time, filed their answers, and vari-
Gus steps had been taken in the case, where
by this Court had acquired jurisdiction of the
parties and the subject matter. If the Court
could be ousted of its jurisdiction at this
stage of the cases, it could be done in the
midst of the trial. or at any time before
Judgment. The motions were overruled
