Peck v. Sanderson (58 U.S. 178)

THIS was an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Pennsylvania.

The circumstances of the case are particularly set forth in the opinion of the court.

It was argued by Mr. Cutting, for the appellants, and submitted, on a printed brief, by Mr. J. Murray Rush, for the appellee.

The arguments of the counsel turned entirely upon questions of fact, as deduced from the evidence in the case. There were no principles of law disputed, and under these circumstances the reporter has deemed it unadvisable to condense the arguments.

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