Opinion

Staples, Q. J.

This exception assumes to bring in question the eastern boundary line of this State. Where that line is, dejtire, is a political question, with which the Courts of the State will not intermeddle. Sufficient for them is it that, the State has always claimed jurisdiction up to and. “ along the easterly side or bank” of the. See-konk river, and exercised it in fact. The Courts are bound to take cognizance of the boundaries in fact claimed by the State.

This exception is therefore overruled.
