This volume contains the closing argument of Douglas Campbell, Esq., presented before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives in 1878. The argument addresses the title of the Texas and Pacific Railway Company to certain lands. Campbell's detailed reply counters the arguments made by Gov. John C. Brown, J. A. Davenport, Esq., and Major James Turner, offering a comprehensive legal perspective on the contentious issue. A valuable historical document for those interested in the legal and political history of railway development in the United States, this work provides insight into the complexities of land ownership and the legal challenges faced by burgeoning railway companies in the 19th century. The arguments presented offer a window into the debates surrounding the Texas and Pacific Railway and its impact on the nation's development.
