Here is the original lower court ruling in Wong Kim Ark:

The Wong opinion starts on page 382.

All of the briefs submitted to the Supreme Court can be found here:

BTW, here is Judge Morrows statement on the Minor decision:

“But the supreme court has never squarely determined, either prior to or subsequent to the adoption of the fourteenth amendment in 1868, the political status of children born here of foreign parents. In the case of Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall. 168, the court expressly declined to pass upon that question.”
