United States v. Chana

THIS was an appeal from the District Court of the United States for the northern district of California.

The claim was based upon Sutter's general title, which has been explained in some of the preceding volumes of these Reports.

It was submitted on printed argument by Mr. Black (Attorney General) for the United States, no counsel appearing for the appellees. It appears to have been confirmed by the court below before they knew the decision of this court with regard to Sutter's general title.

Mr. Justice CAMPBELL delivered the opinion of the court.
