John,
In Re Jacobs was a Supreme Court decision that essentially struck down a state law in NY prohibiting the manufacture of cigars in tenements (multi-story buildings where people lived). The Court did this because it was becoming very conservative and it attempted to protect private property rights from the government.
Hope this helps.
