Osborne v. Clark


No. 159


Argued January 16, 1907
Decided February 25, 1907
204 U.S. 565

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE

Syllabus

The fact that a state statute which was assailed in the state court as invalid under the constitution of the state might have been assailed on similar grounds as also invalid under the Constitution of the United States does not give this Court jurisdiction to review under § 709, Rev.Stat., on writ of error where the objections to the decision under the Constitution of the United States were suggested for the first time on taking the writ of error.

The facts are stated in the opinion.
