Supreme Court of the United States January 19, 1863 (Rothwell v. Dewees)

Mr. Justice MILLER.

The appellees in this case, who were the defendants in the Circuit Court, hold the real estate, which is the subject of this controversy, by inheritance from their father, William Dewees. The title of Dewees was a deed from the Corporation of Washington City, made August 29th, 1836, on a sale for taxes. It seems to be admitted on.
