U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Western North Carolina February 7, 1894 (Brown v. Cranberry Iron & Coal Co.)

DICK, District Judge.

On the trial of this case the defendant offered in evidence a deed executed by the plaintiff, and insisted that he was estopped thereby from asserting title to any minerals embraced within the boundaries mentioned in tbe deed. This question of law was fully discussed by counsel in tbe argument, and was reserved by the court for subsequent determination.
