PREVENTION DECIsIoN.-A case was
recently decided by the Secretary of the In
terror in reference to the title to the north
west quarter of the northwest quarter of sec
t4Dll u, bohuoiIlJ l. lbA VII, IduSO . GdoI,
Mount Diablo meridian, Placer county,
California, in which a new principal con-
nected with the entry of public lands is set
forth. The papers in the case can show that
Joseph Kelly made homestead entry for the
north half of northwest quarter on November
10, 1875, and that E. D. Shirland fled
declaratory statement for the west half of
mol thwest quarter of said section December
1S7E allafi,,,r pa+tlar,a,t Oc4nha. I
Under an application of Kelly to commute
his entry, the question as to his right as
against Shirland was raised, aud upon inves-
tgation it was found that Kelly had lived for
many years in an adjoining township, and
acquired, by presumption, title to other lands,
and hence he was held to have &C
quired no rights to the land here in ques-
ton. This LETT Shirlands claim the only one
before the Government, but inasmuch as his
actual settlement was shown in the proof to
have heen several months subsequent to that
alleged in his declaration of settlement, it was
held to be illegal, and that no period of
residence had accrued to him under his appli-
cation and settlement. There being, however,
no adverse claimant at present to the land I'M
der notice, and as Shirland was now an actual
settler upon the land, the Register of the
Land Office in this city was instructed by
the Secretary of the Interior that under the
/ decision Of the Department i'll the case of
Stanley vs. Fairchild, in November, 1876,
there being no adverse claimant Of record,
| the filing of declaratoTy statement before
! settlement does not invalidate right, and
that the presumption right of Shirland would
therefore in this case be recognized, and COM
mence from the date of the receipt of notice
by the Register, L. T. Taylor at Sacra-
mento of the cancellation of KeIlys entry.
