The book ""Commonwealth Of Virginia Vs. The State Of West Virginia, In Equity V1, Part 2: Record Of Hearings (1914)"" is a legal document that contains the transcript of hearings held in the United States Supreme Court regarding a dispute between the Commonwealth of Virginia and the State of West Virginia. The case was brought to the court in equity, which means that the court was asked to intervene and provide a fair and just resolution to the dispute.The book is divided into two parts, with this particular volume containing the second part of the record of hearings. The hearings were held in 1913 and 1914, and the book provides a detailed account of the arguments put forward by both sides, as well as the questions and comments made by the justices of the Supreme Court.The dispute between Virginia and West Virginia centered around the ownership of certain lands and properties that were originally part of Virginia but were later transferred to West Virginia when it became a separate state. Virginia argued that the transfer was invalid and that the lands and properties should be returned to them, while West Virginia argued that the transfer was legal and that they were the rightful owners.The book provides a fascinating insight into the legal arguments and reasoning behind the Supreme Court's decision in this case, which ultimately ruled in favor of West Virginia. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of these two states, as well as the legal and political issues surrounding state boundaries and jurisdiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
