Ll den, counsel for the defendants, to take from the fle a bill in cquity and the declaration, The com- plainant, Fisk, observed Mr. Emott, commenced a suil in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on the 3ist of July, 1868, against all the perséns named in the complaint, and that cause was removed by peiution to the United Strtes Circult subsequentiy, He had not heard from the other side any question as to that removal. He (counsel) stated, in view of the opinion ol Judge Nelson and of his Honor, that that cause came into this Court by the presentation of a peti- ton as late as the 3d of August, 1803. The complain- ant Fisk bad commenced tn (his Court a suit against all the persons who were described as de- fendants in his suit in the Stale courts with the ex- ception of George Ashman, who was understood to be dead, That sult in the State courts was an equitable action, His Honor had had the case before him and had stated his opinion iu the matter, That equitable action asked that Fisk Should be made the hoider of 20,000 shares. ‘The matier was fnaily removed to the United States Clreur Court, The act of 1868 declared Unat copies of ali papers, pleadings, depositions and testimony night be entered in this conrt, and that the suit might proceed in this court as if brought upon the original suit, Under that statute, as weil as of July, 1566, the application might be made and the suit removed at any time betore trial, but not aiter issue joined; and copies of the pleadings might be used in this court with the same effect as the originals. The act of 1866 was to enable a portion of the defend- ants to bring @ suit in this court aud iave out o:hers who bad not agreed to the bringing of the suit, In faci, the Court should be enabied to make up the record. The polut was that both those statutes gave the right to remove the auit atany siage of the pros ceedgs; but it must come in tie shape In which it was brought in the court below, The meauimg of the uct was thatthe case should cone tn here on the pieadings which bad becu put in in the State court, i tuere bad been Pleadings.

The only compiaint that he had made to tie bil of comphunt was that Davis could wot be made a pariy to the suit. He conld oniy be made a party to the suit by supplemental proceed- ing. He did noi belong to the suit, which could only proceed ageinst ali the parties, aud agaist them alone. 4 s never served with the papers uncil after the papers were removed into this court, and Judge Nelson Neid thatit was Lot competent Jor the State court to do anyubing only to put the case re.erred to them into tits Court aud ihab there Was bo power in the Stace court after that to change the form of proceeuing.

Davis was ma arty to the suit ou the 23d of March, 1864, bet pertion of the Jredit Mobilier was made to reinove the suit mco Uns court. Hts learned friend's position was ihis— that the moment one deleudant out of thirty-one petiuoued to remove the case tue whole case must etop, bevause they could not ve served with the papers im the Staie court, aud they could not be served here In such @ case the court would have no jurisdiction, That Would be a denial of all justice, and it would be im. bie (or Congress to enact such alaw. The suit | Was broaght agalust thirty-one deiendants, Six of them hat appeared in the State court, aud the others had not been served. Five of the six pe- tioned io ri cause tnto this court, and it Was so remo fl bated in the court whether it Was @ proper removal, aud if ved at all when the petiiion was flied. Mr, ri made an adidavit that the peiiuon was filed on the 0th of March, 1860, and some one said If was It shouia held that the case did not $ to the other defendants unill they ap- did not serve Davis with the papers; for the y an order Of tie Court was made that the caas this court they did not serve him, They could not prosecuie Days Without the other parties, because he cou'd turn round and say that the sulb Was not against him.
