The dissent in this case compares it to a case involving a state mortgage law, Bronson v. Kinzie, and that dissent was written by Stephen Field. The opinion in this case cites two treatises by Lord Chief Justice Matthew Hale, referencing a cessation of juris privati. This case specifically regarded the violation of the Constitution of 1870, and the decision by Morrison Waite rests on the argument that when public good is at state, the government can regulate private property. This case was a victory for an organization led by Oliver Hudson Kelley, though it was overturned in a case that presaged the creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Wabash case.
