the case of the United States VS., the
Bell Telephone Company to cancel the
Berliner patent, which the court Of ap-
peals for the First circuit decided against

moved to dismiss the appeal for the
reason that under the court Of appeals
act the supreme court of the United
States had no jurisdiction, because the
case was one arising under the patent
laws Of the United States" and the
judgments of the courts of appeals in
such cases were made final. The United

the act gave the right Of appeal TO the
United States in cases where Il was a

the case must come before the court for
