Wong Him v.
Callahan (1902)
nIs Judge De Haven’s
answer to Wong Him’s argument about the purpose of the statute
consistent with Judge Sawyer’s approach in the Stockton
Laundry Case?
n“The validity of the
statute referred to does not depend upon the motive which may
in fact have actuated the members of the legislature in voting for
its enactment. Upon such an inquiry the courts have no right
to enter.”
