Judge Dietrich holds that in a suit

account OF an alleged breach by the
grantee OF q condition subsequently en-
braced in the original grant. the United
States should declare forfeiture, and
that the same should not be required

The decision is in the case of the

now seeks in connection with the Pay

ton.
A number OF similar cases have been
held by the government pending the
