7 Wheat. 556

MARBURY v. BROOKS.

Supreme Court of United States.

March 21, 1822.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

This cause was argued by the Attorney-General, and Mr. Key,a for the plaintiff in error, and by Mr. Jones,b for the defendant in error.

Mr. Chief Justice MARSHALL delivered the opinion of the Court.

This is a writ of error to a judgment rendered in the Circuit Court of the United States for the county of Washington. In the Circuit Court the controversy turned entirely on the validity of the deed of the 31st of Dec. 1819. The jury found against its validity, and the cause depends in this Court on the correctness of the instructions under which the verdict was found.
