Motion for tbe Removal of a Cause upon petition of defendants, made in pursuance of the United States Revised Statutes, § 643, heard at Spring Term, 1877, of Rutherford-Superior Court, before Cloud, J.

The defendant, Deaver, a. United States Deputy Collector, and the defendant, J. W. Green, a. United States Commissioner, were indicted at Fall Term, 1876, of said Court, for a-conspiracy to extort money from one Henry Summit, who' was arrested at the instance of these defendants and carried before said Commissioner, to answer an alleged charge of’ defrauding the revenue of the United States in having in his possession manufactured tobacco, without the same being, stamped as required by law. When the case was called, the defendants, moved the Court to order its Clerk to send to the United States Circuit Court for the Western District of North Carolina, a transcript of the record in obedience to a Writ of' Certiorari issued therefrom. This motion was resisted on the ground that the Act of Congress authorizing the removal ©f a cause of this character was unconstitutional. His Honor being of a contrary opinion allowed the motion, and Montr ffomery, Solicitor for the State, appealed.
