U.S. District Court · decided 1875-11-15
On motion to remand cause to the state court. The plaintiff was the collector of internal revenue for one of the districts of Missouri, and appointed the defendant his deputy. The defendant gave the bond which the plaintiff by the act of congress was authorized to require and accept. This action, brought in May, 1875, is upon this official bond, and alleges various breaches of the same.
Decided 1875-11-15
¶1We have no doubt that the cause was properly removed. *830It is one arising under the laws of the United States. Key. St. § 314S; Act March 3, 1875, §§ 1-3; Act Feb. 8, 1875, § 12 (18 Stat. 309); Osborn v. U. S. Bank, 9 Wheat. [22 U. S.] 739. Indeed, this last act gives this court original jurisdiction of such actions, concurrent with the state courts.
¶2Motion denied.
