[658] Princess Lida of Thurn & Taxis _v._ Thompson, 305 U.S. 456 (1939).
This case rests on the principle of comity that where there are two
suits _in rem_ or _quasi in rem_, as they were held to be here, so that
the Court has possession of property which is the subject of litigation
or must have control of it in order to proceed with the cause and grant
the relief sought, the jurisdiction of one court must yield to that of
the other. The principle, applicable to both federal and State courts,
that the Court first assuming jurisdiction over property may maintain
and exercise that jurisdiction to the exclusion of the other, was held
not to be confined to cases where the property has actually been seized
under judicial process, but applies as well to suits brought for
marshalling assets, administering trusts, or liquidating estates and to
suits of a similar nature, where to give effect to its jurisdiction the
Court must control the property.
