RECENT DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT
In the case of Davis, VS.. Butler reversed by the
Court it is held that mining claim abandoned
is not effected by the statute of limitations.
The three years allowed for the commencement
of actions for the recovery of personal property
have no reference to such cases The act OF
abandonment places the property in the same
position as though it had never been occupied.
In the case of the People vs. Martiono Judg-
ment is reversed and new trial ordered. Al
though bill of exceptions may not have been
signed within ten days by the Judge OF the
Court below, unless the contrary be expressly
shown the presumption is that the proceedings
have been regular. The failure or refusal OF
the Judge to sign the bill of exceptions should
not defeat the right ofappeal.
