THESE four cases were land cases, arising under the acts of 1824 and 1844, and were appeals from the District Court of the United States, for Louisiana.
They were cases of French grants made after the treaty of Fontainbleau by which Louisiana was ceded to Spain.
They were argued by Mr. Crittenden, (Attorney-General,) for the United States, and by Messrs. Janin and Taylor, for the appellees, except the second which was argued by Mr. Soule.
Mr. Chief Justice TANEY delivered the opinion of the court.
