    DEXTER v. SULLIVAN.
    [Brunner, Col. Cas. 585; 
    
    14 Law Rep. 455.]
    Circuit Court, D. Rhode Island.
    1851.
    Practice—Production- of Papers in Cause in State Court.
    The federal courts will not grant a subpoena duces tecum for the purpose of bringing up the original papers in a cause in a state court.
    During the progress of the cause, Burgess, for defendant, applied for a writ of subpoena •duces tecum, to have the original papers in a case in the supreme court of Rhode Island brought into the circuit court.
   THE COURT

refused the application, on the ground that it would not make a demand on another court, which would not be granted if made to this court, it being a rule of the circuit court not to allow original papers to go out of the clerk's office.
