Description
MR. JUSTICE DAY, after making the foregoing statement, delivered the opinion of the court. While the State has no power to enact legislation contravening the Federal laws for the control of national banks, Davis v. Savings Bank, 161 U.S. 275, Congress has provided that for actions against them at law or in equity they shall be deemed citizens of the State in which they are located, and that in such cases the Circuit and District Courts of the United States shall have such jurisdiction only as they would have in cases between individual citizens of the same State. 25 Stat. 433. If the stockholders had the legal right to enforce inspection there is no room to question the authority of the state courts to enforce the right granting the proper relief in a judicial proceeding. Petri v. Commercial Bank, 142 U.S. 644; Continental National Bank v. Buford, 191 U.S. 119, 123.
