An appeal under a state law from an assessment of taxes to "a county court," which, in respect to such proceedings, acts not as a judicial body, but as a board of commissioners, without judicial powers, only authorized to determine questions of quantity, proportion, and value, is not a "suit" which can be removed from the county court into a circuit court of the United States and be heard and determined there.
The case is stated in the opinion.
