The Life of John Marshall, Volume 4

Note 355 — Chapter III

Reading edition

"Never in my whole life was I more entirely satisfied that the Court were wrong in their judgment. I hope Mr. Pinkney will ... publish his admirable argument ... it will do him immortal honor." (Story to Williams, May 8, 1815, Story, i, 256.)

Exactly the same question as that decided in the case of the Nereid was again brought before the Supreme Court two years later in the case of the Atalanta. (3 Wheaton, 409.) Marshall merely stated that the former decision governed the case. (Ib. 415.)
