Anderson v. Jackson
1 F. Cas. 842
2d Cir.1879Check TreatmentThe cáse is put entirely upon the want of jurisdiction. James Jackson cannot be considered a party within the sense of the constitution and the act of congress. All the parties must be capable of suing. Some of the lessors are citizens of New York, or at least there is no averment of citizenship; and it must appear upon the face of the record, affirmatively, that the court has jurisdiction.
The court gives no opinion upon the other points. Judgment reversed.
