Excerpt from James Morrison, Vs; S. M. Mezes, and Others, in Equity: Motion for an Injunction, Opinion of His Honor Ogden Hoffman, Denying the Motion The Defendants, in this case, are the representatives of the original grantees of the rancho called Las Pu] gas. Their claim having been finally confirmed by the Supreme Court, the rancho was surveyed, its boundaries determined, and a patent issued. On this patent an action of ejectment was brought at a former term of this Court, to Obtain possession of part Of the lands included within it. On the trial, evidence was offered on the part of the defense, to show that the survey and patent were erro neons, and that they embraced lands not properly included within the true boundaries of Las Pulgas. This defense was overruled by the Court, on the ground, that the Defendants having neither a survey or patent, could not at law dispute the perfect legal title of the Plain tiffs. The case was taken by writ of error to the Supreme Court, where the judgment of this Court was affirmed, and the case remanded for further proceedings.
