Railroad Company v. Rock

Messrs. Grant and Cook against the motion: In Armstrong v. The Treasurer of Athens Co.,1 the chief justice of the State court attached to the record his certificate that the decision drew into question the validity of that clause in the Constitution of the United States, which provides that no State can pass a law impairing the obligation of contracts, and that the decision was against the clause. The certificate in the case at bar is drawn up and signed as was that in the authority cited; and this will be seen by reference to that authority.
