Supreme Court Sustains Jurisdiction Over Chinese Habeas Petitions
The Supreme Court this morning released no opinion in eight Chinese habeas corpus cases but upheld jurisdiction allowing the Collector General of Customs to enforce U S laws. Chief Justice Judd concurs in the first proposition, dissents on the second, and the court notes authority to prevent Chinese landing under existing laws. Justice Perry writes part of the opinion, and the decision reaffirms powers under territorial Hawaii and Newlands resolutions, with McStocker named as enforcing official.
