Case No. 16,481.

UNITED STATES v. THOMES.

[Hoff. Land Case. 82.]¹

District Court, N. D. California.

Dec. Term, 1855.

MEXICAN LAND GRANTS.

The validity of this claim undoubted.

[Claim of Robert H. Thomes for the Rancho Saucos, alleged to contain five leagues of land in Colusi county; confirmed by the board of land commissioners, and appeal taken by the United States.]

S. W. Inge, U. S. Atty.

E. O. Crosby, for appellee.

HOFFMAN, District Judge. In this case an appeal has been taken on the part of the United States, but no reason for rejecting the claim is mentioned by the district attorney, nor do there seem, on examining the record, to be any grounds for doubting its validity. The original grant is produced, as well as the expediente from the archives, with the record of approval by the departmental assembly. The conditions have been fully complied with, and the map and the description in the petition to which the conditions of the grant refer identify the land.

The claim of the appellee must therefore be confirmed.
