Boone  v.  Missouri Iron Company

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

The bill was filed by Thomas, in his lifetime, and referred to a complicated history of transactions, running from 1836 to 1848, the date of the bill. A condensed narrative of these transactions is given in the opinion of the court.

The circuit court dismissed the bill, and the complainants appealed to this court.

The case was argued by Mr. Britton A. Hill, for the respondents, no counsel appearing for the appellant.

The argument of Mr. Hill was so intimately connected with the facts in the case, upon which he founded his legal inferences, that the points of law could not be made intelligible without a detailed statement of the particular facts of the case. The argument is, therefore, omitted altogether.

Mr. Justice McLEAN delivered the opinion of the court.
