“ Does a defendant by filing a petition in a state court for removal of the cause to the United States court, in general terms, unaccompanied by a plea in abatement, and without specifying or restricting the purpose of his appearance, thereby waive objection to the jurisdiction of the court for' want of' sufficient service of the summons ? ”

For the reasons given and on the authorities cited in the case of Wabash Western Railway v. Brow, ante, 271, the question must be answered in the negative.
