W. B. Treadwe1, well-known lawyer
of San Francisco, and E. A. Keigwin of this
city, yesterday argued before Justice Cox
in Equity Court No. 1 upon the bill
brought by them in behalf of David Brown
of Oregon. for injunction against the
Secretary of the Interior. Assistant Attor-
ney General Handkerchief appeared for the
government.
Mr.. Brown seeks to enjoin the Secretary
of the Interior from selling $4,000 acres of
land in Oregon. which III 1852, had been
declared by Secretary Teller to be swamp
land and so certified to the state of oregon.
The Secretary of the Interior, following
similar action by Secretary Villas in 1855,
is attempting to sell the land on the ground
that the certlfcation was obtained by
fraud.
The compliments declare that title to
the land has passed and that it is beyond
the reach of executive interference. De-
cision will be rendered later.

Law Governing Probate Court.
The new Jaw governing the Probate Court
of the District was put into effect yesterday
by Justice Hagner in the Orphans Court 1t
appears that neither Justice Hagner nor
the officers of the court were aware that
the President had the Sth instant signed
the bill which passed several days ago,
and therefore it was a matter of surprise
to them.
The will of Richard T. Russell was pre-
scented for pro- ate, but the justice refused
to pass uron the application, as 1t appear
ed mat the new law concerning citation
