STRONG, J., Separate Opinion

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES


94 U.S. 113

Munn v. Illinois

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS


Argued: --- Decided:

MR. JUSTICE STRONG.

When the judgment in this case was announced by direction of a majority of the court, it was well known by all my brethren that I did not concur in it. It had been my purpose to prepare a dissenting opinion, but I found no time for the preparation, and I was reluctant to dissent in such a case without stating my reasons. Mr. Justice Field has now stated them as fully as I can, and I concur in what he has said.
