The ReelfoOt Lake Matter.

In the case Of the State Of Tennessee
vs.. West Tennessee Land Co. ct al. the
demurrer Of the West Tennessee Land
Co. to the bill was argued before Cham
celIor Cooper, at Chambers. about two
weeks ago. The Chancellor, at the pres
ent term of court, has filed his opinion
on the questions raised by said demur-
rer. A number OF the grounds OF de-
murrer were sustained by the court, 9TH
ers were overruled, but the defendants
were given leave to rely on all such
grounds Of the hearing as were disaI-
lowed. Tie result is that the following
parts Of the bill were dismissed, to-wit:
So much Of the bill as seeks 10 inn
peach the grants issued to George DOH
erty by the State Of North Carolina, COW
ering about 10000 acres Of the lake,
extending from old Idiewild to the low
or End Of the lake.
Also dismissing such parts OF the bill
as charge that there was an abandon
ment Of said property, the court hold
ing, in substance, that a perfect legal
title cannot be abandoned as matter
OF law.
Also Diminishing the bill insofar as it
seeks to annul the grants OF w. III.
Caldwell because he was deputy entry
taker at the time those entries we're
made.
This decision, il not appealed from,
in effect confirms TO the West Tennes-
see Land Co. all Of that part Of the lake
extending from old Idlewild to the foot
of the lake. The other questions raised
by the bin regarding the Caldwell grants
will have to be answered, and disposed
of by the court hereafter.
In regard to the question Of naviga-
bility Of the lake covered by the DOH
erty grants, the court was Of the opin-
ion that whether navigable in law or in
fact, said property was acquired before
the formation OF said lake, and the COW
ering of the said land by water would
not deprive the owners OF the title.
In any case Of point herein disposed
Of by the Chancellor, an appeal will be
taken TO the Supreme Court where the
case will be disposed of in its entirety
and the equities adjusted by the highest
court in the State, which viii be final,
The bringing Of the suit contemplated
a decision by the Supreme Court so that
the ownership Of the lake could not be
! matter Of doubt, and until the Su-
preme Court does pass upon these titles
here will always be trouble over the ]
matter.
