Wood v. Davis

THIS was an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the northern district of Illinois.

The case is stated in the opinion of the court.

It was argued by Mr. St. George T. Campbell and Mr. Browning, for the appellants, and Mr. Carlisle, for the defendant.

The argument turned chiefly upon the point, whether Foster and Stohl, who held the deed, and Hooper and Campbell, who held the note, were real or nominal parties in the cause.

Mr. Justice NELSON delivered the opinion of the court.
