made in accordance with it, would seem to obviate all obje&o tions to the change, even if the plaintiff were in a position, as he is not, to contest its validity. The mortgages, upon the foreclosure of which the land was lold and the grantor of the plaintiff acquired his title, were executed after this dedication had become irrevocable, and the purchaser at the mortga.ge saJe took whatever rights he acquired in subordination to the interust of the public, represented since the incorporation of the town by its authorities. As tc the defence that the statute of limitations of the state has barred the action, it is sufficient to refer to the decisions of supreme court of California in Hoadley v. The City oj San Francisco, 50 Cal. 265, and People v. Pope, 53 Cal. 437. According to them; no one can acquire by adverse occupation as against the public the right to a street or square dedicated to public uses. The construction given by the supreme coud of the state to the local statute is conclusive upon this court.

Petition to Remand. - - - , for plaintiffs. - - - , for defendant. HALLETT, D. J. In cases removed from a court of the state, if there is in the record, either in the state court or in the petition for rBmoval, anything showing want of jurisdiction in this court, the party objecting to the removal may rely upon that by motion to have the cause remanded. .If, taking the facts appearing in the record and petition to be true, this court has jurisdiction, the party objecting to the jurisdiction must make his objection by plea to the jurisdiction,-that is, he must allege the facts in a manner in which issue may be joined, and according to the course and practice of the court, so that they may be properly determined,-and it has been determined by the supreme court that the method of doing that is by plea to the jurisdiction, and in that way only. Upon such a plea we know what course is to be pursued; we know how to consider it, how to ascertain its sufficiency, and how, if issue be joined upon it, to reach a conclusion as to the matter of fact.
