¶2*318 The cause was held under advisement, till the 8th of August, when the CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the following decision on the point last argued.

¶3BY THE COURT: We are clearly of opinion, that the Superior Court of Rhode Island, on whose judgment this writ of error is brought, is the highest court of law of that state, within the meaning of the 25th section of the judicial act. The general assembly might set aside, but they could not make, a decision.
