Writs of error. in criminal cases shall have precedenceuporithe docket of the SupremeCourt.of allcases to which the Govpriiment of the U.S. is not a party. excepting oaly such casesas the court. at theirdisorotion. maydecide to be of public importance. I have been directed by the ComJudiciary to offer this amendment to the bill. It has been submitted to the ComWays&Means and they concur in it. It is merely a change of the law of 1833. giving it the construction that was intended by congress when that law was passed. confining the operations of the act to otheers and persons acting under them and by their authority. It appears from reading the debates that by inad vertence the words “or other persons" were inserted after the word “officers, ” so that under it. all cases arising under State laws in connection with any trade or business for which the present law requires a license to be taken out, or this bill requires a special tax to be paid may be removed into the U.S. court. the parties claiming that the payment of the tax authorized them to conduct the particular business, no matter what the provisions of the State law might be. A out many cases were thus remove from the State courts into the U.S. courts. This interferes with the municipal regulations of all towns and cities and the proper administration of State laws.
