Couch v. Hughes

Opinion of the Court

NaptoN, J,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The facts of this case are substantially the same with those of the case of Lewis vs. Lewis. It was a bill in chancery praying for a decree of title from the person who had entered a quarter section of land, upon which the complainant had a right of pre-emption, but which pre-emption right was not allowed by the register and receiver. The bill was demurred to, and the demurrer was sustained.

The decree of the circuit court is affirmed.
