California Supreme Court · Decided July 1, 1880 · McKinstry
55 Cal. 192

Carr v. Central Pacific Railroad

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice McKinstry, presiding.

The words of the grant are very broad. We all think that this judgment will have to be affirmed. The language seems to be about as broad as it can be : that “ the timber thereon is hereby granted.” The only possible doubt would be as to whether “ timber ” included all trees and wood.

*193Hale & Craig, for Respondent.—There is no controversy as to that, I understand.

Mr. Justice McKinstry.—Judgment affirmed.
