on these warrants, and there being quite a large number of warrants of this character still afloat, it would be to the interest of the holders of them, and they would undoubtedly avail themselves of the privilege. should the precedent be established by granting the relief asked for in this case, to insist that the State shall take their warrants back rather than to locate them upon the public lands of the United States, whereby the School Fund, out of which claims of this character should be paid, if paid at all, would be seriously diminished. For the reasons above given, the undersigned recommend that the relief asked for by the petitioner be not granted. CONNELY, BATCHELDER. |
