James D. Porter and Others, Plaintiffs in Error v. Bushrod W. Foley

Mr. Headington opposed the motion to dismiss the writ upon the ground that the statutes in question violate the seventh section of the compact of 1789 between Virginia and Kentucky, (1 Stanton's Ky. Stat., 82,) and are therefore repugnant to the tenth section of the first article of the Constitution of the United States. Green v. Biddle, 8 Wheaton, 1.
