a long disputed point involving the relation

congress passed an act appropriating $780,

Busby head is alleged to have paid s235, 600
of this sum to W. A. Phillips and other

Phillips and others for defrauding the
Cherokee Indians of this amount of money,

committed, are a TO eign nation; that the
offense was not violation of the laws of
the United States and the court had no
jurisdiction.
