Archbishop IreIand'. Land Claim.

$1,000 acres, was heard at the general land

railroad, the settlers under the same act
claiming to be bona fide settlers and that
they are entitled to make entry 1t is
largely a question of law whether the con-
tract between him and the railroad was
valid The settlers assert that the arch
bishop was the mere agent of the road,
that this was not a contract of sale, but
merely promise of the railroad to sell to
him in the event It obtained a title to the
lands at issue, which the railroad, il is
claimed, did not get, for the grant of these
lands was revoked.
