Featuring a concurrence by Justice John McLean, the named appellant in the case was a Vermont-born member of the American Board of Commissioners, who worked alongside Elias Boudinot before being stripped of his job as federal postmaster, and condemned to four years of hard labor. This case built upon language in Johnson v. M'intosh, in holding that the appellant could not be forced to obtain a license of residency to live at New Echota, since the states have no ► regulatory power to enforce laws within other sovereign nations, namely the Cherokee Nation.
