What is the difference between a plaintiff and defendant in a Supreme Court case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from West Pub. Co. v. Lawyers' Co-operative Pub. Co., 79 F. 756 (2nd Cir. 1897):

Complainant's point gives the provision of the state constitution. So does defendant's, but neither of them have a word to say about the real point in the case. It is, of course, possible that both editors committed the same oversight; but certainly it is highly improbable, where the oversight was failure to appreciate what three-fourths of the opinion was concerned with.

7. Mastick v. Superior Court, 29 P. 869.
