Supreme Court of the United States October 25, 1869 (Ex Parte Yerger)

The CHIEF JUSTICE

delivered the opinion of the court.

The argument, by the direction of the court, was confined to the single point of the jurisdiction of the cou'rt to issue the writ prayed for. We have carefully considered the reasonings which have been addressed to us, and I am now to state the conclusions to which we have come.
