Railroad Company v. Mcclure

Mr. Grant, for the plaintiff in error, referred to cases in the Supreme Court of Iowa to show that at the time when the bonds were issued, the constitution of that State, now construed by its courts in the decision below so as not to authorize the issue by counties of railroad bonds, had been construed so as to authorize such issues;1 and argued that the later interpretation, adverse to the validity of the bonds, impaired the obligations of a contract; as this court had decided.2 This is a writ of error to the Supreme Court of the State of Iowa. The case is brought into this court under the 25th section of the Judiciary Act of 1789.
