1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Taney
This action was brought in the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of Illinois, to recover a certain lot in the town of Peoria, described in the plaintiff’s declaration.
In that suit, Forsyth, the defendant in error, was plaintiff, and Barton, the plaintiff in error, was the defendant; and upon the trial, the judgment of the Circuit Court was in favor of the plaintiff^ Forsyth, and thereupon Barton brought the case here by writ of error.
