Graham v. Bayne

THIS case was brought up by writ of error, from the circuit court of the United States for the district of Illinois.

It was an action of ejectment brought by Bayne against Graham, to recover the southeast quarter of section 15, in townships seven, range four east.

The circumstances under which the case came up are stated in the opinion of the court. It was argued by Mr. Browning for the plaintiff in error, and Mr. Williams, for the defendant; but as their arguments were directed to the merits of the case, which were not decided by this court, they are omitted.

Mr. Justice GRIER delivered the opinion of the court.
