Capdeville, Auditor, and Grace, Register, No. 23218, 83 South. 421,¹ this day decided, are presented in, the present suit. Plaintiff brought the present petitory action to be decreed the owner of the beds of Lakes Rond, Dauterive, Fausse Pointe, and Little Lake Long, and to enjoin the lessees of the state from exercising mineral rights therein.
