    State ex rel. Mrs. Mattie L. Wright vs. Judges of the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
    Before invoking tile supervisory jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, the party applying for relief must exhaust his remedies in the lower court. When it is alleged the lower court was without jurisdiction, it must appear that a plea to the jurisdiction was filed in the lower court.

    Opinion handed down, June 17, 1895.
    Rehearing refused June 29, 1895.
   The opinion of the court was delivered by

McEnery, J.

Our supervisory jurisdiction is invoked to annul a judgment of the First Circuit Court of Appeals aflirming the judgment of the District Court, partly in favor of and against relator.

The ground for relief is the want of jurisdiction ratione materise of the court, and it is now too late to apply for the relief prayed for. The relator should have exhausted his remedies in the lower court before applying for relief.

It is therefore decreed-that relator’s ápplication be dismissed.

Nicholls, C. J., absent.
