THE UNITED STATES, APPELLANTS, v. THE LIBELLANTS AND CLAIMANTS OF THE SCHOONER AMISTAD, HER TACKLE, APPAREL, AND FURNITURE, TOGETHER WITH HER CARGO, AND THE AFRICANS MENTIONED AND DESCRIBED IN THE SEVERAL LIBELS AND CLAIMS, APPELLEES.   SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES   40 U.S. 518; 10 L. Ed. 826     JANUARY, 1841 Term  

• Prior history of the case
• Syllabus (summary of issues and relevant law) of the case
• List of counsel for both sides
• Attorney-General Gilpin's argument (for the United States)
• Mr. Baldwin's argument (for the Amistad and Africans)

It was the purpose of the Reporter to insert the able and interesting argument of Mr. Adams, for the African appellees; and the publication of the "Reports" has been postponed in the hope of obtaining it, prepared by himself. It has not been received. As many of the points presented by Mr. Adams, in the discussion of the cause, were not considered by the Court essential to its decision: and were not taken notice of in the opinion of the Court, delivered by Mr. Justice  STORY, the necessary omission of the argument is submitted to with less regret.

• Attorney-General Gilpin's reply (for the United States)
• Justice Story's opinion (for the court)
• Mr. Jusitce BALDWIN dissented (no opinion)
