a We find that under the administration of Earel
J CarondeIet in 1895, in order to encourage agri
culture, large tracts Of lands were granted TO sun
dry individuals, among others, to Marquis Iaisen
rouge, whose concessions were situated in the Gis
trict of The 0uaehts river, and ALSO sanother ex
t tended landed domain to Baron BastTop, in th
same part of Louisana- Both these grants figarel
/, very censpicuousy upon the several maps, which
we have seen executed under the authority of oul
II Federal surveyors. What may have become Of the
conflicting claims and titles under the actual set
tiers of those tracts of lands, and the real OF pro
tended heirs of those title bearers, is more thar
II we can tell. AL that we know of our own ey
perience with regard to these extensive claims, is
that at our arrival, and even some years later, we
often heard in public, saw in the papers, that
young man, under the name of Maisonrouge, q
pretended or illegitimate son of the Baron was
prosecuting il courts his title to these landed
estates but since that time we have heard no
more of these long contested land claims. With
regard to the Baron Bastrop's tract, we ourselves
have been in the vicinity OF these lands mart of
winch were then occupied snd settled, tthat was
n 1851 and the occuplers were not at al uneasy
