Curran v. Arkansas

Syllabus
T case was brought up from the Supreme Court of Arkansas, by a writ of error issued under tha 25th section of the judiciary act.

[p305] It was argued by Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Pike, for the plaintiff in error, and by Mr. Sebastian, filing a brief prepared by Mr. Hempstead, for the defendants in error.

The arguments of counsel upon both sides were in such an unbroken train of reasoning, that the reporter cannot compress them into a mere report; and as, together, they made upwards of sixty pages of print, he cannot publish them entire. The reader who desires to examine into the case thoroughly, can consult the opinion of the Supreme Court of Arkansas, delivered in November, 1851. In that opinion the court maintains its doctrines with great earnestness.

Mr. Justicn CURTIS delivered the opinion of the court.

[Mr. Justice CATRON, Mr. Justice DANIEL, and Mr. Justice NELSON, dissented.]
