Supreme Court of the United States · Decided May 4, 1874 · Clirrord, Davis, Field, Strong
154 U.S. 596; 1874 U.S. LEXIS 1418 (United States Reports)

United States v. Six Lots, Hatch

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Strong

delivered the opinion of the court.

These eases are in all essential particulars like the case of The United States v. Eight Hundred and Forty-four Lots and Ten Squares, of Ground, the property of John Slidell; The Confiscation Cases, 20 Wall. 92. What we have said in reference to that ease is equally applicable to these,

Mr. Attorney General and Mr. Thomas J. Durant for plaintiff in error. Mr. O. M. Conrad and Mr. C. Cushing for defendants in error.

In each case the judgment of the Circuit Court is reversed, and the cause is remanded with instructions to affirm the judgment or decree of the District Court. Reversed.

Clirrord, Davis and Field, JJ., dissented.
