Williamson v. Moore

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Clifford

delivered the opinion of the court.

The facts of the case are substantially the same as in the case just decided. Williamson v. Suydam, 6 Wall. 723.

The case, among other things, alleges that the act of April 1, 1814, was unconstitutional and void, as impairing the obligation of contracts.

Judgment of the state court was to the contrary in express terms, as appears in the record. Motion overmled.
