Questions for the Executive and Not the Ju- dicial Branch of the Government—An Art- ful But Doubtful Compliment by the British Government to the Supreme Court. Attorney General Miller today filed with the Court the brief in behalf of the %: | United States against the fling of the petition of the Canadian government for a writ of pro- hibition to the district court of Alaska in the case of the sealer W. P. 8a; First is presented a transcript of the records of the ease appealed from the Alaska court. The argument why the petition should not be received by the Supreme Court is then sub- | D6," mitted. Briefly the points of objection are stated as follows: ‘THE ARGUMENT IN BRIEF. The Government of the United States opposes the filing of a petition for a writ of prohibition to the district court of Alaska in this case for the following reasons: 1. This court has no power, in any case, to isane a writ of prohibition to that court, | cause it is not a district court of the United States within section 688, Revised Statutes. TL, The question of jurisdiction of the Alaska court which petitioners seek to present cannot be raised on the record of the admiralty pro- ceedings on file in this court, becatse— (a.) fact of those proceedings shows jurisdiction in the Alaska court, and after sen- fence, in such & ease, prohibition will not ue.

THE STATUS OF THE ALASKA COURT. On the declaration that this court has no power to issue a writ of prohibition to the dis- trict court of Alaska the brief sa; “Section 688, by which power is given to the Supreme Court to iasue writs of prohibition to district courts when proceeding admiralty and maritime juris. taken from section 13 of the 1789. (1 Stat. L., 80.) ‘The only district courts to which the section could have referred, were the district courts of the United States, entab- lished by the same act, for at that time there were no others. The act was passed of article 3of the Constitution, under which Congress was tablish courts inferior to the Supreme Court as repositories of the judicial power conferred upon the National Government by that article. It is obvious that section 688, when its ori courts of tion, was judiciary act of by virtue iven authority to ofdain and es- ae tory is considered, can not rofer in the joi ‘district courts’ to any courts of pre: that name except such as are established by Congress under the third article of the Consti- tion as courts of the United States charged with the exercise of the judicial power therein con- erres “The district court of Alaska is not such Jove. 3 | court. It is not a court of the United States, and does not exercise the judicial power con- ferred by the third article of the Constitution. Itisa mere Territorial court, organi Congress under the fourth article of the Con- stitution, which gives Congress the power to establish’ needful rules and Territory and property of the United States.” nized by regulations for the fact that this court of Alaska is given the jurisdiction of the United States circuit and district courts does not make it either a circuit or district court. It isa mere convenient mod le of describing part of the — which Congress intended to confer on it.” The conclusive evidence that the court is not States, established under judge is limited to four ood behaviour,” us jumerous decisions ‘THE QUESTION OF JURISDICTIO. In support of the declaration that ths ques- tion of jurisdiction cannot be reised on the record here, the brie? urges: First. The face of the proceedings shows juris- diction and in such a case after sentences, pro- hibition will not issue. Writs of prohibition do not issue after sen- tence unless the wan‘ of the jurisdiction ap- pears upon the face of the proceediny Ly Tho taco. of the proceedings in this ease, the court had jurisdictioa, and this application is made after sentence. It will be admitted that the libel shows that the Alaska court had jurisdiction. The seizure and the seal killing are both averred to have taken place in the waters of Alaska, and so within the district of Alaska and the juri: ‘Thero are high authoriti to show that after sentence, want of juriadi tion must appear on the face of-the libel before prohibition will be granted. “In the case at bar,” the brief says, “the pe- titioner has dismissed his appeal. ‘The tran- script of record on appeal which he might have used to bring to this conrt, in a direct proceed- of the evidence upon which the ‘he libel shows jurisdiction, as we have seen. ‘The answer denies that the seizure or seal kill- ing was in the watersof Alaska. The findin of fact was that they were in the waters of Alaska. The motion in arrest denies the juris- diction of the court over the subject matter and the decree based on the findings of fact orders ‘The mere fact of a denial of the seizure within the limite of Alaska d ot to decide, and its decision of the fact, not be- ing appealed fro. the sale of the vesnel seized as forfeited. joes not show stch want jurisdiction. That denial presented an issue ¢ which the Alaska court was given power ym, is final. ‘THE THEEE-MILE Liwrr. On the second point, as to jurisdiction, that evidence shows seal killing within three-mile limit. Jurisdiction was thereforé in the court wherever seizure was made, the brief says: examine the evidence on appeal, to deter- furiediction of the court ’ below, it certainly not go outside of the transcript It it “Even if this court may tion, titioner in three turb its finding. “It will be conceded by counsel for Bering Bea. wi are waters of Alaska, and that 1956, Revised Statues, no matter & offender is American or foreign. “There is evidence in the record from which the court might very well have found that the vessel had been ki within | thr ‘of the islands “It is not for this court, ing?
