Judge
Sir:
I have examined the
of
June last to "
the legal representatives of said
This patent recites two confirmations, one by the first board of
Commissioners in favor of Merriwether
other by act of Congress of the
Riviere's representatives, and professes to convey the land in the
alternative, either to Merriwether
resentatives. In my Judgemnt the patent has been issued er
roneously, and I will proceed to give you very briefly the reasons
upon
which that conclusion is founded.
If it be true, that both the confirmations are for the benefit
of the
same person (Merriwether
under
of title, divested of
all ambiquity, and not drawn in the alternative,
so that he will always
be obliged to go into evidence behind the
patent for the purpose of
showing, that the patent really conveys
the land to him, and that it is
not void for uncertainty in desig
nating the grantee. He is
entitled to have it issued under te first
and only legal confirmation -
that to Merriwether
If it be true that the two confirmations operate for the
benefit of
different persons, then
his
confirmation, are entitled by express act of
according to the confirmation made by the first Board of Commissioners.
confirmation being made by the Commissioners, a Cretificate
shall be
delivered to the party, Stating that he is entitled to a
patent
& c, and that upon the transmission of the certificate
to
the Secretary of the Treasury, the party shall be entitled
to a
patent." Sec Sec. 5.
It is true, that the act of the
that patents shall issue for lands
confirmed by that act. But
I think, it Cannot be doubted, that as
Merriwether
entitled to a patent before the act of
to claim the patent,
could not be affected by that act, non
ought its form to be changed
because of Confirmation by
that act. Upon the supposition, that the two
Confirmations
enure to the benefit of different persons, there is an
express
direction by acts of
and it is not the fault of the land Department that there
are
two such Confirmations, or that by the direction of the
Statutes two patents are to be issued. The difficulty is not
to be
avoided by now issuing one patent in the alternative,
either to one
confirmee or the other, which, as a grant,
is void, because the grantee
is uncertain.
Whenever this patent is produced in evidence it will be
held to be void
on its own face, unless the party goes back into
the original title and
shows that Merriwether
is the same person
designated as Riviere's Representative the
other confirmee. The
presumption upon the document itself
as isued in the alternative, is
that the confirmees are differ
ent persons, and that the patent is
void because it professes
to grant to either one of two persons.
This electronic document is published as part of the St Louis Circuit Court historical records project.
The original document is part of the Missouri State Archives St Louis Circuit Court collection.
The object in all the laws directing patents to issue is to
pass the fee
from the government, and to consolidate the evidence
of title. So far
from the object in reference to the title being
accomplished by this
patent, the party who wishes to use it,
is entirely afloat, and must so
back through all the title
papers anterior to the patent. I judge it
however suf
ficient for me to say, that Merriwether
signess are entitled to expect from the officiers of the
government,
the document which is directed to be issued by the act of
ambiguity shall appear upon the face of the document
when issued.
If the commissioner of the Genl. Land office would enter into any
con
sideration of the value of the two confirmations, and be
influenced
in the made of issuing the patents by their legal value,
then there can
be no difficulty in showing that the second
confirmation, although
by act of congress, is a mere

with the
Recorder and have recorded, not only the original concession
under
which he claimed, but all conveyances by which the title was
derived
to himself, and thus the title original and derivative was
before
the commissioners and was passed upon by them. When the
claim of Merriwether
the
confirmation was for his benefit, not for the benefit of any other
person. How then shall the confirmation be final against the
United
states, if any officer of the government, or the government
itself can
confer any right to the same land upon any other
