| Summary: | The State of Texas sued Leonard Haynes to recover five leagues of land between the Nueces River and the lower Rio Grande, which was within the territorial limits of the State of Tamaulipas [Mexico] as it existed prior to the Texas Revolution. The land was surveyed for the State in 1884, and had right to it unless the plaintiff in error could show a right to the land which originated at a date prior to the 19th day of December, 1836, and which right is protected by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo between the United States and Mexico. Haynes claimed by mesne conveyances under Antonio Zapata, who claimed to have acquired a right to the land by a grant made by the Governor of Tamaulipas under decree no. 24 of the Congress of that State. |
