2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““This is a direct and positive interference with the original authority of the state court. If there was error in the proceedings of the court, a review can be had in the appellate tribunals of the state. If, as is charged, the decree is sought to be perverted and made the medium of consummating a wrong, then the court, on petition or supplemental bill, can prevent it.””
