	USDC - District of New Hampshire - The United States Circuit Court
		The circuit courts exercised a limited appellate jurisdiction by rehearing cases that came up from the district courts and a limited original jurisdiction by hearing cases that were just entering the legal system.
		He stated that an act of legislation mandating circuit riding by the Justices was "a departure from the Constitution and an exercise of powers which constitutionally and exclusively belong to the President and the Senate." Jay softened the letter with a fair amount of diplomacy.
		The circuit courts jurisdiction to hear appeals from the district court was abolished by this act.

	United States circuit court - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the federal judicial districts were grouped into circuits, the circuit courts convened separately in each district and were designated by the name of the district (for example, the "U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Massachusetts"), not by the name or number of the circuit.
		Each circuit court was composed initially of two Supreme Court justices and the district judge of the district, although in 1793 Congress provided that a quorum of one justice and one district judge could hold a court.
		The burden of circuit riding was somewhat alleviated by the appointment of circuit judges under the Circuit Judges Act of 1869, but not abolished until the creation of the intermediate courts of appeals in 1891.

	Arlington National Cemetery: United States Supreme Court Ruling
		State of Georgia. Nor can it be said that the dignity of the government is degraded by appearing as a defendant in the courts of its own creation, because it is constantly appearing as a party in such courts**, and submitting its rights as against the citizens to their judgment.
		The case came from the supreme court of Illinois to this court on writ of error, and the judgment in favor of the plaintiff was reversed.
		They were stated in a suggestion and motion, filed by the attorney general in the circuit court of the United States before trial, protesting against the jurisdiction of the court, and moving for a stay of proceedings; which was demurred to by the plaintiff, and overruled by the court.

	LOGAN v. UNITED STATES.
		The court overruled the motion to quash the indictment, and the defendants excepted.
		The court overruled all these objections, and admitted the testimony of both witnesses to material facts; and afterwards instructed the jury that they were competent, and that the convictions and sentences affected their credibility only.
		If the officers of the United States, charged with the performance of the duty, in behalf of the United States, of affording that protection and securing that right, neglected or violated their duty, the prisoners were not the less under the shield and panoply of the United States.

	United States Supreme Court DRED SCOTT v (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		And as long ago as 1822, the Court of Appeals of Kentucky decided that free negroes and mulattoes were not citizens within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States; and the correctness of this decision is recognized, and the same doctrine affirmed, in 1 Meigs's Tenn. Reports, 331.
		It was therefore the duty of the court, sitting as a court of equity in the latter case, to prevent him from using its process, as a court of common law, to compel the payment of the purchasemoney, when it was evident that the purchaser must lose the land.
		The plaintiff thereupon brought his writ of error, and this court reversed the judgment given in favor of the defendant, and remanded the case with directions to dismiss it, because it did not appear by the transcript that the Circuit Court had jurisdiction.

	United States v. Kagama, 118 U.S. 375, 6 S.Ct. 1109, 30 L.Ed. 228 (1886)
		In this case, of which the state and its tribunals would have jurisdiction if the offense was committed by a white man outside an Indian reservation, the courts of the United States are to exercise jurisdiction as if the offense had been committed at some place within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States.
		The constitution of the United States is almost silent in regard to the relations of the government which was established by it to the numerous tribes of Indians within its borders.
		But the court could not see, in the agreement with the Indians sanctioned by congress, a purpose to repeal section 2146 of the Revised Statutes, which expressly excludes from that jurisdiction the case of a crime committed by one Indian against another in the Indian country.

	[No title]
		Some obnoxious state law passed, or that might be passed, is necessary to be assumed in order to lay the foundation of any federal remedy in the case, and for the very sufficient reason that the constitutional prohibition is against state laws impairing the obligation of contracts.
		It applies equally to cases arising in states which have the justest laws respecting the personal rights of citizens, ans whose authorities are ever ready to enforce such laws as to those which arise in states that may have violated the prohibition of the amendment.
		Whether the statute-book of the state actually laid down any such rule of disqualification or not, the state, through its officer, enforced such a rule; and it is against such state action, through its officers and agents, that the last clause of the section is directed.

	IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES DECEMBER TERM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The defendant filed a plea to the jurisdiction of the Court, alleging that the plaintiff is not a "citizen" of Missouri, because he is a negro of African descent, his ancestors being of pure African blood, brought into this country and sold as slaves.
		But within the reputed or asserted boundaries of those old States, and beyond and around the actual settlements, there were unoccupied lands, claimed, on the one hand, by the United States under the treaty of peace, and on the other by the States themselves as successors of the Crown of England under the Revolution.
		I now beg the attention of the Court for a few brief moments, while I endeavor to state what I understand to be the legislative construction which the Constitution received at the hands of its framers and their contemporaries in respect to this power.
