said, before the supreme court decision
was referred to, in which they were not en-
titled to render decision, and although
for q time the general land Office followed
that decision, 1t finally followed the opin-
ion of Attorney General Devins and JUS
tice Harlan in this course in which Van
Wyck concurred.
