Henry Billings Brown,
Smith v. Payne — Opinion of the Court
“ The considerations moving us to affirm the decree of the Court of Appeals in the case of Houghton v. Payne (just decided) , 19 U.S. 88, 24 Sup. Ct. Rep. 590, apply with much greater persuasiveness to this case, and the decree dismissing the bill is, therefore, affirmed.Mr. Justice Harlan and the CHIEF JUSTICE dissent in this case for the reasons stated in their dissenting opinions in Houghton v. Payne, 194 U.S. --, ante, 98, 24 Sup. Ct. Rep. 590, and Bates & G. Co. v. Payne, 194 U.S. --, post, 106, 24 Sup. Ct. Rep. 595. ”
