Charles H. McBlair, Administrator of Lyde Goodwin, Deceased v. Robert M. Gibbes and Charles Oliver, Executors of Robert Oliver, Deceased was a case heard by the United States Supreme Court in 1854 that dealt with the issue of whether or not an administrator had the right to bring suit against executors for debts owed by a deceased person's estate. The court held that administrators do have this right as long as they can prove their claim is valid and reasonable under state law. In this particular case, it was found that McBlair did indeed have such rights due to his position as administrator and thus he could sue Gibbes and Oliver on behalf of Goodwin's estate for any outstanding debt owed by them at the time of her death. This ruling established precedent for future cases involving similar issues regarding administrators' rights when dealing with estates after someone has passed away

In the dissenting opinion of Charles H. McBlair, Administrator of Lyde Goodwin, Deceased v. Robert M. Gibbes and Charles Oliver, Executors of Robert Oliver, Deceased case, Justice Daniel argued that the Court should not have granted a writ of error in this case because there was no substantial federal question presented by it. He believed that the decision made by the state court was correct and did not conflict with any prior decisions from other states or any laws passed by Congress; therefore he felt that it did not present an issue for review at a federal level as required under Article III Section 2 Clause 1 of the United States Constitution which grants jurisdiction to Supreme Court over cases involving questions arising under federal law or treaties between two different states. Furthermore he noted that even if there had been such an issue raised in this particular case then it would still be inappropriate for them to grant certiorari since they are only authorized to do so when necessary “to secure uniformity” among state courts on matters related to national law or policy – something which is clearly absent here given its purely local nature concerning property rights within South Carolina itself rather than anything pertaining directly to US Federal Law/Treaty obligations etc..
