1. Memphis v. United States, SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, February 11, 1878, Decided; OCTOBER, 1877, Term
OVERVIEW: City had power to levy the tax authorized by act of March 18, 1873 (Tennessee), which was passed for contractor's benefit after he made his contract with city, because repeal of this act did not become effective until after mandamus was issued to contractor compelling city to levy the tax, which gave him a vested right that could not be impaired.
