Barribeau v. Brant

This was an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the district of Missouri.

The case is stated in the opinion of the court.

It was argued by Mr Bradley, for the appellants, and by Mr Lawrence, for the appellees.

The argument consisted, upon both sides, in the application of well-established principles of law to the facts in the case, as disclosed by the evidence. There being no principle of law disputed, it is not necessary to state the contradictory testimony which furnished the basis of the respective arguments.

Mr. Chief Justice TANEY delivered the opinion of the court.
