3093To James Madison from Philip P. Barbour, 28 March 1826 (Madison Papers)
Upon my return home, I looked into the question which you mentioned yesterday, and I find two cases in Cranch’s reports, distinctly asserting the principle, that a trustee who is a citizen of a different state, may sue in the Circuit Federal Court, for the benefit of a Cestui que trust, who is a citizen of the same state with the deft. The cases take a distinction, between the case of a...
