Decided May 10, 1926

ERROR TO THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA

Syllabus

1. A petition to remove from state to federal court is not a general appearance. P. 199.

2. Pleading to the merits, after overruling of motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction over defendant which defendant does not waive, is not submission to the jurisdiction. P. 200.

3. Where objection to the jurisdiction appears in the record proper, it is not necessary to reiterate it in a bill of exceptions. P. 200.

3 F.2d 605 reversed.

Error to a judgment of the district court on a verdict recovered in an action on contract brought in a South Carolina court by a resident of that state against an Indiana corporation and removed to the federal court.
