United States v. Tennessee & C. R.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
United States v. Tennessee & C. R., 81 F. 544 (5th Cir. 1897)
26 C.C.A. 499; 1897 U.S. App. LEXIS 1880

United States v. Tennessee & C. R.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Considering that the Tennessee & Coosa Railroad Company had the right to sell, and did sell, the 120 sections of the land grant before the act of forfeiture, and that the forfeiture act of 1890 did not forfeit any portion of the land grant lying opposite to and coterminous with that portion of the railroad then completed and in operation, we find no error in the decree appealed from, and it is therefore affirmed.
