Il proceeding by Titus to enforce his
rights as an informer in respect to
certain lands in Bibb county, Georgia,
which had been conveyed by will to
the confederate states to aid the cause

conquest, the property of the United

make it such, no person could claim as
an informer in respect to it. The act

clearly intended to imply to private
not public property, and to such prop
erty of persons as required, under the
laws of war. a judicial sentence of
condemnation to divest the title of its
owner, not such property of a hos
tile government as had already been
captured by the army and subjected to
the complete and undisputed owner
