U. S. CIRCUIT CoURT.-The great case of the
heirs of Gen. Lafayette vs.. Madame Pontalba and
seventy or eighty others, was yesterday decided
in this Court by Judge Campbell. Plaintiffs,
who chiefly reside in France, claim of defendants
large tract of land, stretching along the rear of
the city, bat lying chiefly in the second District.
At the time that Gen. Latayette's tract was loca-
ted portion of it was claimed by private PAL ties
and the claims of these parties, from whom de-
PENDANTS derive their titles, were allowed and con-
frmed by the Land Commissioners. The suit in
question grew out of these conflicting claims
Judge Campbell, in his decision, holds that the
confirmation by the Land Commissioners gives a
good and valid title against the United States. and
all parties Ginning under the General Govern-
ment, aud, in accordance with this holding, judg-
ment was given for defendants.
