U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia December 15, 1831 (Gustine v. Ringgold)

The CouRT

(ThRuston, J. contra,) refused to issue the commission, because it has jurisdiction to compel the attendance of a witness, if within one hundred miles; and, therefore, he does not reside out of this province, within the meaning of the act of Maryland, whose object was to obtain the testimony of a witness whose personal attendance could not be obtained.
