Blair v. Miller

Blair v. Miller was a U.S. Supreme Court case decided in 1800, without oral argument,[1] in which the court held that a writ of error is a nullity if not returned till the term next succeeding that to which it was returnable. A judgment was rendered in the Circuit Court of Virginia on the 28th of May 1799, and a writ of error issued returnable to August term 1799; but the record was not transmitted, nor the writ returned into the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court, till the 4th of February 1800.[2]
