Hopkins, contrà.

MARSHALL, Ch. J., delivered the opinion of the court.

The appellate jurisdiction of this court, under the 25th section of the judiciary act, ch. 20, extends only to a final judgment or decree of the highest courts of law or equity in the cases specified. This is not a final judgment of the supreme court of Pennsylvania. The cause may yet be finally determined in favor of the plaintiff, in the state court.

Writ of error dismissed.
