1Opinion of the Court

The Court:

Upon the facts appearing, the right of the plaintiff to the certificate of purchase for the land in dispute, which forms a part of the five hundred thousand acre grant, is no longer open to controversy. (Wright v. Laugenour, 55 Cal. 280; Laugenour v. Shanklin, 57 id. 70.)

By Section 1925 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the certificate is made primary evidence that the holder is the owner of the land described therein.

We discover no error in the record.

Judgment and order affirmed.
