hnS ST heinz Snafd
Of those originally sued. The pleas OF these de-
PENDANTS raised several questions as to the
dcfcnccs OF Limitation and prescription, but they
were subsequently abandoned, and the case rested
solely on the general Issue.
The contest was as to q tract OF land called
San Martin, which the plaintiff contcndcd was
within the boundaries Of land named Esplrltu
Scuto, embraced in grant under which she
tied upon the tract nearly one hundred years
The defendants claimed by virtue of grant
made by the authorities OF the state Of Gamou-
lijos, by title OF possession issued to lgpociO
Govoino, in February, 1890, and confirmed by
final title issued by the Governor of that state
in May of the same year. II was claimed by the
defendants that their Titled embraced the land In
dispute by actual survey.
The Jury found on the trial below that the
Esperitu Scuto grant itself showed that the
eastern boundary was a certain line, commencing
on the Rio Grandc, and running north to point
not embracing a portion of the tract claimed BY
defendants. plaintiffs then moved for Judgment
non oGidnie rcrcdiciO for so much OF the land sued

properly admitted below, and that the judgment
should be reversed for that reason,
