Lawdog is correct, from the perspective of the State of Minnesota, the
Credit River Money Decision is a
legal nullity. It is a fine example of competent common law.
The Libel of Review can give perspective as it uses the de jure Thirteenth Amendment and the Credit River Money Decision as examples of the superior court venue. The objective is to establish the suitor in the "exclusive original cognizance" of the US to be a man on the land and therefore part of a positive law jural society, even the Preamble Union of We the People if nothing else.
This is done first by
restricted appearance in admiralty - Rule E(8) - the man coming forth First Middle name of the family nomen. No social compact for the benefit of a legal or full name.
Follow this carefully. This is the constitution in the Laws of Colorado 1861, and by the time and title of the book, it is obvious that the law as found in that book appertains to the Territory of Colorado
some four decades after the Thirteenth Amendment was allegedly never ratified. Do you suppose the non-ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment just never reached us country bumpkins out in Colorado territory?

This is law for the Colorado Territory - not the State of Colorado. Now both the man and the territory - Man on the Land are established.
Credit River is not a town. Credit River is not a city or county. Credit River to this day is a Township. The jury convened under a Justice of the Peace in positive law jural society - common law. So Madeline, with that in mind, I suggest you read the actual Judgment, Order and Decree before you run off after territorial legal nullities like the State of Minnesota and attorners like Lawdog.
But I think you are sensible enough to know that. You are just posting to get a better explanation from me.
