FORD v. SURGET.

Supreme Court of United States.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. R.D. Mussey for the plaintiff in error.

Mr. W.T. Martin for the defendant in error.


MR. JUSTICE HARLAN, after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the court.

We can notice only the ground of demurrer, which suggests that the defendant in his pleas sought to rely "for justification of the trespass committed by him upon matters in themselves wholly illegal, against peace and good policy, and contrary to the Constitution of the United States, the supreme law of the land, and the government thereof."
