Bwahahahaha ... "and saying that such a child “was a native-born subject, according to the principles of the common law stated by this court in McCreery v. Somervlle, 9 Wheat. 354.” Give you sufficient rope and you usually hang yourself in your own deceits.

Reading the full sentence in the Supreme Court ruling and you will see that “natural-born” was synonymous with ‘native-born’ as the phrase you quote was paired with ....
“a child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject”
Citizen at birth = natural-born citizen. QED.
