Dewhurst v. Coulthard (nonfiction)

Dewhurst v. Coulthard, 3 U.S. 409 (1799), was a United States Supreme Court case that initiated with a civil suit brought by Isaac Coulthard (owner of Coulthard's Brewery) against John Dewhurst which reached the Court by a convoluted process so the Court refused to hear the case:

[t]his court will not take cognizance of any suit, or controversy not brought before them by regular process of law.
