Decision against Fremont in the Mari
posa Case

The particulars, rs brought by the
last California steamer, are as follows:
One Of the most important events Of
the Fortnight has been the decision Of
the Supreme Court in the Fremont
case. Two of the .Indgcs concur in its
opinion, but Judge Field dissents The
suit is brought by Biddlc Boggs against
the Merced Mining Company. 1t had
been decided in favor Of the plaintiff by
an inferior court, decision reversed by
the present one. The plaintiff leased
portion Of the tract known as Las Mar
aposas from Col. Fremont in April.
1857, paying q mopthly rental of one
thousand dollars Six years before. the
defendants had taken possession of the
land and operated upon it in mining;
they have retained possession TO the
present time, expcnding in machinery
&c, 100000. The suit was brought to
recover possession and damages. The
decision of the Supreme Court limits
the consideration of the the case to two
points
Whether the title to the mineral
passed to Col. Fremont with his confirm
ed grant to the real estate.
Whether. conceding that it did not
the defendant had the right to extract
the gold while the title in fee simple of
the land is in the lessor of the plaintiff.
The Court held, on these points, that
the title to the gold in the premises was
reserved by Mexico, aud passed by the
treaty to the United States. and has not
passed from them to the lessor Of the
plaintiff; and the owner of mining
claim has, in practical effect. n good
vested title to the property until his IL
tie is divcsted by the exercise of the
superior right Of the higher proprietor.
