Summary

Wallace v. Anderson — Opinion of the Court

Chief Justice MARSHALL delivered the opinion of the Court, that a writ of quo warranto could not be maintained except at the instance of the Government, and as this writ was issued by a private individual, without the authority of the Government, it could not be sustained, whatever might be the right of the prosecutor, or of the person claiming to exercise the office in question.
