New York Supreme Court February 15, 1862 (Rock River Bank v. Hoffman)

By the Court.—Leonard, J.

When the attachment was granted, the defendant Hoffman was consul for the Duchy of Saxe Coburg Gotha, for the State of Illinois.

It issued against the property of all the defendants. The Constitution and laws of the Hnited States prohibit the State courts from taking cognizance of suits affecting consuls.
