Railroad Co. v. Wiswall
90 U.S. 507
SCOTUS
1875
Check Treatment
*508 The CHIEF JUSTICE

delivered the opinion of the court.

The writ of error is dismissed upon the authority of Insurance Company v. Comstock. * †The order of the Circuit Court remanding the cause to the State court is not a “ final judgment” in the action, but a refusal to hear and decide. The remedy in such a ease is by mandamus to compel action, and not by writ of error to review what has been done. †
