David Davis, Slawson v. United States — Opinion of the Court
“ If a credulous man, which would seem to be the case, he could be easily imposed on, and in the nature of things it was not to be expected that any one would volunteer information to condemn the boat and Slawson's conduct in connection with her. ”
David Davis, Slawson v. United States — Opinion of the Court
“ The claimant is, therefore, excluded from the benefit of the Captured and Abandoned Property Act, and as the Court of Claims has no jurisdiction to try a case growing out of the appropriation of property by the army or navy, it follows that its judgment must beAFFIRMED. Notes This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105) . ”
