Description
Messrs. M. Blair and F. A. Dick, for the plaintiff in error, insisted that Luis Peralta's title was a perfect title under the Spanish and Mexican laws, and was protected by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and that the confirmation of it, on the application of the sons, could not add to its strength, and could not take away the right of the daughters as coheirs of their father; and, whether so or not, that the confirmation of the title enured to the benefit of those really entitled under the original grant, their heirs and assigns; and that as no devise from Luis to his sons was exhibited on the trial of this cause, that the plaintiff was entitled to recover under the hereditary right of Maria Teodora's children. Mr. S. O. Houghton, contra, for the defendants, denied that the title of Luis Peralta was a perfect title; and contended that even if it was, the claim of the daughters could not avail in an action of ejectment against the award of the commissioners in favor of the sons of Luis, which gave them the legal title.
