California Supreme Court November 25, 1870, No. 2024 (Peres v. Sunol)

CROCKETT, J.

— In the year 1852 Jose Noriega and Robert Livermore were the owners, in equal moieties, as tenants in common, of two separate ranchos — “Los Positas” and “Canada de los Yacqueros.” In that year, Livermore conveyed all his interest in the two ranchos to his wife and children, by deed absolute, which was duly recorded.
