Supreme Court of the United States April 21, 1879, 204 (Klein v. New Orleans)

Mr. Chief Justice Waite

delivered the opinion of the court.

We must take the facts of this case as they are stated in the ‘ bill of exceptions, and cannot look into the evidence. The questions to be settled are-: 1. Whether the lands levied on are subject to seizure and sale under execution against the city; and, 2. Whether the ground rents are liable in the same way.

This depends on the facts.
