tits based, whether grant or a sale. and
the final adjudication of the Fernando
grant is irrevocable. If the claimants of
the Fernando grant had perpetrated half
of the fraudulent and false assertions here
inbefore reported in this article there might
be some grounds for charge of fraud.
De Cells was charged with fraud because
he paid out 81 1000 in gold. instead of
taking the grant for nothing. Truly your
writer has q new code of morals. If a
fraud, why did not De Cells keep his coin
and get the grant for nothing, and get your
writer's praise for honesty and virtue.
Now he asks if there was not an agree
ment between De Cells and Pico and the
Indian that they two were to get the patent
ment appears of record in my abstract OF
title made by the Title, Insurance and
Trust company of this city. De Cells and
Pho Pico are long since dead. and it ia now
poor time to appeal to dead men who
cannot rise from the dead to protect their
character from assaults. never saw
grantee De Cells and never spoke to Pio
Pco.
The conclusion of the whole matter is
that the courts have adjudicated the De
Cells line of title to be valid, and by impli-
cation that all others are frauds.
Maclay bought at probate sale of the
deceased De Cells the grants. The probate
could modify it. Maclay bought 1t at pub
lie sale, and took his title clear, as shown
by the records.
The courts adjudicated the rights that
Maclay bought, and he took them as ad-
judicated and paid his money.
The present kickers remind me OF the
Kentucky Judge who said to the dissatisfied
attorney, "My dear sir. you have two REM
edies one is to appeal the case, the other
is to go down to the tavern, get drunk and
swear at the court"
The present parties attacking the title Of
the rancho have apparently adopted the
latter course. Next!

g. The semi.annual inspection of the fire

made, albeit it was notable for an entire
