IMPORTANT LAND DECISION.
We learn that Judge Perkins has
lately made III important land decision
Of much interest to settlers on govern
lnent land.
Onc Andrews, il 1873, made final
United States, for u tract OF land il
Mobiles county. His proof was accept
ell and the final certificate was issued
to Andrews, and recorded in the regis
ter Of deeds office, and no appeal was
ever taken from the action Of the land
officers in granting the certific ate, and
accepting the proof.
Andrews sold the land to Randall,
md Randall sold it to one Judd.
IN 1882, Graf commenced at the land
Office a contest against Andrews seek
ing to cancel the entry on the ground
Of fraud and perjury in the proving up.
Andrews appeared and defended. The
y land officers Cancelled the entry Of An.
drews and permitted another to file
i. on It.
Judd os0menced suit against Ran
dali t. recover the amount he paid for
, the land, On the ground that his title
had proved worthless.
The court holds that the title of An
}drews and consequently tho title made
by Randall to Judd is good. That the
cancellation Of Andrews entry by the
land Office is unauthorized and void.
I That when a homesteader has proved
up and no appeal is taken from the pro:
ceedings in which proof is made, thai
the Receivers duplicate is final, and
cannot bo again attacked before the
land Office for alleged fraud or perjury.
The only remedy, if fraud or perjurT 4
suspicioned or exists, is for the United
States to 60 into court, the same as an
individual, and by legal proceedings es
tablish tho fraud and get the certificate
cancelled.
