Book Overview

The book ""Illinois Central Railroad Company Vs. The People Of The State Of Illinois, Appeal From Douglas: Brief For Appellant (1876)"" is a legal document written by George Trumbull. It describes an appeal made by the Illinois Central Railroad Company against the people of the state of Illinois in the Douglas court. The brief provides arguments and evidence in support of the appellant's case. The case involves a dispute over the ownership of certain lands that were granted to the railroad company by the state of Illinois. The people of the state of Illinois claim that the lands were granted to the railroad company for a specific purpose and should be returned to the state when that purpose was fulfilled. The railroad company, on the other hand, argues that they have the right to keep the lands and use them for their own purposes.
