[quote name=\'toetyper\' post=\'178334\' date=\'Feb 20 2008, 12:48 PM\']Decided by the  supreme court in 1878. the case 'Henry Sleeper v. the town of   Samdown.    NH' is considered a landmark case in what issue

A eminent domain
B disability rights
C Property  taxes
D slaves inheritance[/quote]As much as I wish this thread would stay buried, I really can't help myself in this case.  Best as I'm able to make out:

The town is Sandown, not Samdown (admittedly, that may just be a toe-typo)
The plaintiff is David Sleeper, not Henry Sleeper
The case was decided by the New Hampshire Supreme Court, while your question implies U.S.
Unless my Googling skills are way, way off, it's barely a footnote in legal history, hardly a landmark case.

Aside from the multiple errors in the question, this falls into the way-too-obscure category, even for a million.

WHOOSH.

Sarcasm swung at and missed completely.

Yeah, I agree...time to padlock this thread and throw away the key.

And the poster in question was answering wrong sarcastically.

Your point?
