Sanchez v. Neary
California Supreme Court
Appeal from the District Court of the Sixth Judicial District, Sacramento County. This was an action of ejectment. The Court below granted a nonsuit, and the defendant appealed. The other facts are stated in the opinion.
1Opinion of the Court
By the Court, Crockett, J.:
The Court below erred in granting a nonsuit in this case. The action is to recover a lot in Sacramento City, and the plaintiff deraigns his title through mesne conveyances from John A. Sutter, to whom the premises were granted by the Mexican Government, and to whom they have been confirmed and patented by the Government of the United States. That the deed of the 14th October, 1848, from Sutter to his son, includes the site of the City of Sacramento, was decided by this Court in Mayo v. Mazeaux, 38 Cal. 442, and we see no reason to question the correctness of that…
