Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American State Trials, Vol. 7: A Collection of the Important and Interesting Criminal Trials Which Have Taken Place in the United States, From the Beginning of Our Government to the Present Day; With Notes and Annotations
The opinion of Judge Cowan was in such direct con?ict with well-settled principles of International law as to shock both the judiciary and the bar of the country. Though the acquittal of mcleod rendered an appeal to a higher court unnecessary, yet to destroy its authority in future cases Judge Talmadge of New York City published a masterly review of it, in which he clearly showed the fallacies of Judge Cowan's rea sons and the unsoundness of his conclusions. His views were approved in letters by the most eminent living jurists, including Chancellor Kent and Chief Justice Spencer of New York, Judge Rogers of Pennsylvania, Simon Greenleaf, Judge Berrien of Georgia, Chief Justice Clayton of Delaware, Judge Huntington of Connecticut, John J. Crittenden and Rufus Choate.'
