COURT OF APPEALS
ON SAMPSON CLAIM
Hold Case Should Have Gone
Before Supreme Body.
Order of Dismissal Is Withheld Pend

Tribunal.

The Court OF Appeals for the District
has dismissed the appeal OF the United
States, in the case of Admiral William
I. Sampson, on behalf of himself, Off
GERS and men against the Spanish vessel
of war 1nfanta Maria Teresa and Others
and certain munitions of war for prize
The case was argued before Justice
Bradley, presiding in Equity Court No
., last summer. Judgment was in favor
Government took an appeal to the Court
of Appeals for the District. The opinion
of that tribunal was announced by Chief
Justice Alvey. Mr.. Justice Morris also
filed an opinion concurring. Mr. Justice
Shepard filed dissenting opinion.
Announces Opinion.
In announcing the opinion of the court,
Chief Justice Alvey said:
Upon consideration, / am of opinion
that this appeal has been improvidently
and without legal warrant taken to this
court. and it must. therefore, be dis
missed.
But, with n view of preserving the ap-
peal taken to this court, in the event
that the Supreme Court should decide
that such appeal was rightfully taken to
this court, and not to the Supreme Court
direct. l think it would be proper TO
withhold the order dismissing the appeal
until the question can be passed upon
by the Supreme Court, on an appeal from
the District Court, unless it be desired
by the appellant to take an appeal to the
Supreme Court from the order dismiss
ing this appeal-in which case the order
of dismissal will be entered at once"
Justice Morris Concurs.
Concurring with the chief Justice, Mr..
Justice Morris says: In these cases l
am not satisfied that we have not juris-
diction. But to hold that we have juris-
diction would be to deny the Jurisdiction
of the Supreme Court of the United
States. If such holding be the correct
ore, | prefer that ii should come from
the Supreme Court and not from us.
1T seems TO me to be appropriate that
where there is doubt, that high tribu-
nal should itself determine the point
Moreover, it would seem that by our de-
NAL of our nom jurisdiction at this time
the interests of justice would be best
subserved. For these reasons | concur
with the chief justice in the ruling that
the appeals in these cases lie directly to
the Supreme Court of the United States,
and not to this court
Mr.. Justice Shepard held that the ap-
peal was properly taken, in that in the
original proceedings the United States
appeared and filed its answer. On the
question of prize or no prize he said the
ture OF final decree subject to the right
OF appeal.
