DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
(bouvier) | DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS. The Act of Congress of March 3, 1815, 2 Story L.
U. S. 1530, authorizes and directs the district attorneys of the United
States to appoint by warrant, an attorney as their substitute or deputy in
all cases when necessary to sue or prosecute for the United States, in any
of the state or county courts, by that act invested with certain
jurisdiction, within the sphere of whose jurisdiction the said district
attorneys do not themselves reside or practice; and the said substitute or
deputy shall be sworn or affirmed to the faithful execution of his duty.
|
DISTRICT
(bouvier) | DISTRICT. A certain portion of the country, separated from the rest for some
special purposes. The United States are divided into judicial districts, in
each of which is established a district court; they are also divided into
election districts; collection districts, &c.
|
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OF THE UNITED STATES
(bouvier) | DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OF THE UNITED STATES. There shall be appointed, in each
judicial district, a meet person, learned in the law, to act as attorney of
the United States in such district, who shall be sworn or affirmed to the
faithful execution of his office. Act of September 24, 1789, s. 35, 1
Story's Laws, 67.
2. His duty is to prosecute, in such district, all delinquents, for
crimes and offences cognizable under the authority of the United States, and
all civil actions in which the United States shall be concerned, except in
the supreme court, in the district in which that court shall be holden. Ib.
3. Their salaries vary in different districts. Vide Gordon's Dig. art.
403. By the Act of March 3, 1815, 2 Story's L. U. S. 1530, district
attorneys are authorized to appoint deputies, in certain cases, to sue in
the state courts. See Deputy District Attorney.
|
DISTRICT COURT
(bouvier) | DISTRICT COURT. The name of one of the courts of the United States. It is
held by a judge, called the district judge. Several courts under the same
name have been established by state authority. Vide Courts of the United
States.
|
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
(bouvier) | DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The name of a district of country, ten miles square,
situate between the states of Maryland and Virginia, over which the national
government has exclusive jurisdiction. By the constitution, congress may "
exercise exclusive jurisdiction in all cases whatsoever, over such district,
not exceeding ten miles square, as may, by, cession of particular states,
and the acceptance of congress, become the seat of government of the United
States." In pursuance of this authority, the states of Maryland and
Virginia, ceded to the United States, a small territory on the banks of the
Potomac, and congress, by the Act of July 16, 1790, accepted the same for
the permanent seat of the government of the United States. The act provides
for the removal of the seat of government from the city of Philadelphia to
the District of Columbia, on the first Monday of December, 1800. It is also
provided, that the laws of the state, within such district, shall not be
affected by the acceptance, until the time fixed for the removal of the
government thereto, and until congress shall otherwise by law provide.
2. It seems that the District of Columbia, and the territorial
districts of the United States, are not states within the meaning of the
constitution, and of the judiciary act, so as to enable a citizen thereof to
sue a citizen of one of the states in the federal courts. 2 Cranch, 445; 1
Wheat, 91.
3. By the Act of July 11, 1846, congress retroceded the county of
Alexandria, part of the District of Columbia, to the state of Virginia.
