no grant made previously, unless it bad

Of New Nezico.
The act Of Congress of 22d july, 1851,
established the office of Surveyor eneral
Of New Mexico, and required him to as
certain and report upon the merits Of
claims under Spain and New Mexico, orig
mating before the cession by the treaty
Of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1913. BY the
aet Of August 4, 1854, the territory ac-
quired by the Gadslen treaty was idcorpo-
rated with New Mexico, aud made subject
TO all the laws Of that Territory. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that the Jurisdiction of
