This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

There was a group of enterprising Americans who decided they could bribe the Georgia State Legislature to convey 35 million acres of land for the bargain price of 1.5 cents per acre. In 1796, the Georgia Legislature rescinded the grant but not before large parcels had been sold to northern investors. A suit on the warranty of title ensued.
