Grame v. Mutual Assurance Company of Virginia
Argued November 18, 1884
Decided November 19, 1884
112 U.S. 273
I
N ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURTOF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA
Syllabus
Whether the destruction of a building by fire, communicated from buildings burned by the Confederate forces on leaving Richmond, was covered by a policy which excepted losses resulting from riots, civil commotions, insurrections, or invasions of a foreign enemy is not a federal question, but one of general law, the decision of which by a state court is not reviewable here.
This was a motion to dismiss the writs of error on the ground that no federal question was presented, and that the court was without jurisdiction.
