that all the lands involved in these suits are worth at
least $3.50 900; but the same principles Of law by
which these cases will be disposed of must also settle
the Titles to lands IN Texas to the amount of many
millions. The leading questions to determine the
ownership OF this immense amount of property are
whether persons could secure their grants df Land
within the border and coast leagues, under the Mex
can Government without direct grant from that
Government second, whether the act passed in 1s4l
for quietng land titles within the border leagues and
commonly called the +" bobtaiIed act" was constitu
