Robertson v. Sewell

87 F. 536, 31 C.C.A. 107, 1898 U.S. App. LEXIS 2010

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided March 15, 1898·No. No. 626·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

As the parties waived trial by jury in the circuit court and submitted the case to the judge, we are concluded by the findings of fact. The vital question in the case is whether the lands in controversy had been so segregated from the public domain by the alleged decree in 1851 as to permit of their assessment and taxation by the state of Florida in the years 1877,1878, and 1879. From the findings of fact relating to the decree of 1851, we are of opinion that the said decree did not become final and executory. This we understand to be the- ruling of the circuit court, and we affirm the same. Affirmed.
