Cleveland Insurance Company v. Reed

THIS was an appeal from the District Court of the United States for the district of Wisconsin.

The bill and answers opened a wide field of discussion relating to events which had transpired many years before, and the arguments could not be made intelligible without a minute statement of those events. But as the opinion of the court does not require that this should be done, the reporter omits a particular narrative of these circumstances.

The case was argued in this court by Mr. Doolittle for the appellants, and by Mr. Lynde, upon a brief submitted by himself and Mr. Brown, for the appellees.

Mr. Justice CATRON delivered the opinion of the court.
