1Opinion of the CourtJustice Lamar
In 1885 Jose Avalo Sanchez mortgaged to Dona Maria Diaz y Siaea a sugar plantation in Porto Rico known as Bello Sitio, described as containing 400 cuerdas, and bounded on the north, south, east and west by the colin-dantes, or adjoining land owners, whose names were given. Suit to foreclose was instituted in 1889 and at the end of three years the mortgagee obtained a decree which, how ever, instead of ending the controversy, was the beginning of litigation in the Spanish courts which is said , to have been the most protracted and bitter in the history of the Island of Porto Rico.
