Opinion
FEBRUARY TERM, 1808.
APPEAL from the district court of the United States for the territory of Orleans, in a suit in equity.
That court was established by the act of congress, of 26 th March, 1804. vol. 7. p. 117. s. 8. and has a jurisdiction similar to that given to the district court of the United States for the district of Kentucky.
This court was of opinion that an appeal lies from that court to this; but that in this case, the court below had not jurisdiction, because it did not appear that the parties were citizens of different states, nor aliens, c. so as to give them a right to litigate in the courts of the United States.
