The HOlmead Cemetery Lots.
THE DISTRICTS TITLE DEFENDED.

The National Republican this morning says:
1.-THE District Will probably have some trouble in
giving clear title to the purchasers or the square,
as number OF men are said TO hold certificates OF
purchase OF portions OF it. A man named Godfrey
has fenced In portion OF the field which he claims
as his property. He has certificate OF purchase
from the Commissioners. it is said, and Will not
allow them to interfere with IL. II they attempt
to touch his ground ne has announced his inten-
tfon OF testing the question, ana the Others VINO
hold similar certificates will await the result"
The District authorities say in reference 10 this
that the common council OF Washington city at one
time assumed, without any legal authority what
ever TO sell grave sites in the cemetery; that the
claimants OF such sites have no title, although
there may be a question OF the moral right OF the
District 10 take possession OF the lots without
turning the money paid; but that question has not
arisen AT the conclusion OF the abstract OF title
10 this square, given by NJ. Ashford esq, Septem-
Der 10, 1854, he sayS:-sI 1 am or opinion that the
title TO said square 100 Is good in the District OF Co
lumbia for the purposes declared In the act last
above noted, and that deed In proper form, and
duly executed by the Commissioners OF said Dis
trict, Will pass to a purchaser a good ana unen-
numbered title" The act OF Congress OF 1873 gave
TO the graveyard commissions or the District the
right OF making regulations governing the holmead
cemetery, which was originally designed for free
burial ground, but gave them no power TO sell lots
or sites, and no such title given by them Is valid
