Description
Mr. John D. McPherson for the plaintiff in error. 1. The act of Governor Armijo was ultra vires. He had no authority, under the act of the Mexican Congress of 1824 and the regulations of 1828, to grant to one person more than eleven square leagues of public land. United States v. Hartnell's Executors, 22 How. 286; United States v. Vigil, 13 Wall. 450; United States v. Vallejo, 1 Black, 451. The grant of a tract with ascertained boundaries which contains more than ten times that quantity was therefore a nullity, and the title of the plaintiff must be derived from the United States.
