Description
ERROR to the Supreme Court of Nebraska. Morton sued certain tenants of the State of Nebraska in ejectment to recover three hundred and twenty acres of salt land salines–in the said State; a State formed, as every reader of these volumes is aware, out of that vast region formerly known as the Territory of Louisiana and purchased in 1803 by us from France. The land in question was palpably saline, so incrusted with salt as to resemble snow-covered lakes. The salines in question were noted on the field-books, but these notes were not transferred to the register's general plats. The State intervened in the suit, and by its own request was made a defendant.
