Land, Land And More Land.

CLAIM TO LAND IN MICHIGAN.

Robert Abbott.

Robert Abbott, states that about the year 1796, James Abbott, now deceased, was in possession of a certain tract of land situated on the border of the river Detroit, and that Abbott made many improvements thereon in buildings, fencing, setting out an orchard, &c. It appears from the transcript record of the Detroit land office that the claim of Robert Abbot for himself and the other heirs of James Abbott deceased, was filed in said office as early as the year 1805, and that it was finally acted upon by the board of land commissioners, acting under the provision of the law of the 11th of May, 1820, which provision is as follows:

“And the said commissioners shall also have power to examine and decide according to the laws respecting the same claims which have been filed with the register of the land office, and not heretofore acted on.”

It further appears from the decision of the commissioners that they- deemed the claim equitable and just, but that they were prevented from confirming it from the circumstance of the land, or at least the greater part of it, having been already sold. The petitioners now ask for a grant of ‘and containing 640 acres, being the amount they would have been entitled to had not the land embraced by the claim been sold. The committee are of opinion that the petitioners are entitled to relief; and for that purpose report a bill.

CLAIMS TO LAND IN LOUISIANA.

Antoine Cruzat.

Antoine Cruzat, claims about three acres of land by virtue of a settlement right; that the land is situated in the parish of East Baton Rouge, in the State of Louisiana. The proof shows that the petitioner actually inhabited and cultivated the said tract of land from the year 1805 until the year 1812, since which time the said land has not been in the possession of the petitioner. The committee called upon the Commissioner of the United States General Land Office to state whether the petitioner’s claim, as made out by the evidence, brought his claim within the provisions of the acts of Congress passed, granting donations to actual settlers in the State of Louisiana on or before the 15th April, 1813, and received for answer that, agreeably to the construction of the law in question at that department, his claim was embraced by the laws alluded to. The committee therefore report a bill.

Abram Wrinkle.

Abram Wrinkle, alleges that prior to the year 1819 one John Wiley occupied and cultivated a farm on the right bank of the Sabine, near the mouth of the Kisatcha, and within the limits of that portion of Louisiana called the Neutral Territory; and
that in the autumn of 1819 he purchased the improvement from said Wiley, and moved immediately on it, and has resided on it ever since, and that he has no other land nor claims any other.
These facts are proved to the satisfaction of the House, and they therefore report a bill authorizing the petitioner to have 640 acres as a settler on the Spanish domain at the time of the cession by Spain of that portion of Louisiana to the United States.

Paul Poissot.

Paul Poissot, purchased from François Missippe his pre-emption right to a quarter section of land in the sixteenth section, on the southwest bank of Red river, in the parish of Natchitoehes, in the Opelousas land district, in. the State of Louisiana, about twenty-three miles above the town of Natchitoches, bounded above by the lands occupied by Jean Eloi Rachal and below by lands occupied by Baptiste Landreau’x. That he claimed the right of pre-emption to a quarter of said section, as above described, by virtue of the act
of Congress approved the 29th of May, 1830. He was in possession of the land, and actually cultivated six or seven arpents in corn thereon in the year 1829, and resided on said land on the 29th of May, 1830.
