 In his report of the hearing and continuance, Dallas appended a long footnote in which he quoted from the remonstrances.At the time of this case, each Justice of the Supreme Court served also on a Circuit Court.Thus, while the Supreme Court of the United States never ruled on the constitutionality of the Invalid Pensions Act of 1792, five of its six members, Jay, Cushing, Wilson, Blair and Iredell, declared it unconstitutional as members of the United States Circuit Courts for the Districts of New York, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
