Case of Lytle vs. state of Arkansas. ct al.

Case of LytIe vs. state of Arkansas. ct al. We have obtained the following abstract of this case, recently decided in the Supreme Court and which is O. great importance to our Western f. tends The facts are briefly these Nathan Goyes the ancestor of the plaintiffs, proved 10 the satisfaction the register and receiver of the proper land ocr pre-emption right under the act of 29lh May I530 10 fractional quarter section of land adjoining the town of Little Rock, but could not enter the same pior to the expiration of the law, because the land had not been surveyed and the plat returned. On the 18th Jun' 1882, Congress granted 10 the Terri tcTy of Arkansas one thousand Of land, 10 be aelected by the Governor adjacent to Little Rock On the l4h July, lS32, an act was passed giving to persons entitled 10 pre-emption under the oi 29h May, lS30 but who had not been able to enter the land for the want of township plAts, year from the filing Of such plais within which 10 complete their entries. On the 30th January. 1893. Gov Pope selected with other land that which Cloves claimed rre-empiion right. In the beginning of the year 1884, he township plat was retarned and in less than year from that time Cloves paid the money for the land. patent for the land was subsequently, issued to t;ov. Pope. The land divided into lots and sold, anG upon of the iots is the banking house of the Real Estate Bank oG Arkansas. The suit was brought by the heirs of Cloves to recover the land.
 The Court decided that the register and receiver having admitted the facts of Cloyes' right. their decision was tiual in the absence of fraud unfair ness. That although the act of $50 had expired, vet all rights under II were saved by subsequent acts That the proof having been declared satisfactory by the land officers under the act of ls30 there was necessity of opening the for additional proof under the act of 1882. That under the latter act it was only necessary 10 do what Lad moi been done under the former act. That the act granting one thousand acres Of land 10 the State of Arkansas coud not divest Cloves ot the pre-emption right which had accrued under the act of lS30 That the act of
 lith July ls32. was supplement to the act of 1850, and extended the benefits of that act That the set tier under ihe act of 1850 on fraction could only enter the fraction settled on In short, the CoRrt
 sustain ed the pre-emp,ion claim against the patent
 which had been issued to Gov. Pope, hmiing that
 ciaIm to the particular fractional quarter settled
