The Case of John C. Watrous
Author: Walace Hawkins
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Watrous became the attorney general of the Republic of Texas in 1838 but soon resigned because of conflicts of interest over land speculation. In 1846, he was appointed by President James K. Polk to a new seat on the United States District Court for the District of Texas, where he became the object of severe criticism and ultimately an unsuccessful impeachment. The main charges against him were violating Texas statutes punishing those dealing in fraudulent land certificates, misusing his judicial influence, and holding sessions of court improperly. Because he refused a Confederate appointment during the U.S. Civil War, he was able to retake his seat after the fall of the Confederacy.--Adapted from en.wikipedia.org.
