Mr. HENDRICKS. But I submit to Sean tors it would not be just to the occupants of this land to say that “you shall have just the technical rule of law on this subject.” I know that in the case of a breach of warranty the rule is purchase money with interest, but perhaps there is no warranty in the patent the Government has given. Perhaps there is no liability on the part of the Government, tech uically, to that extent. I do not know that there is, becausea Government patent is not.a warranty deed; but the case is just this: these people have relied upon the title that the government has given them; we allknow the common people think a patent is perfect; they think when they have got a patent that that ends all questions; they rely upon that. They purchased this land. No doubt it has cost these claimants that now occupy the land very much more than what the Government origin ally got. They have acted on the title of the Government. I think good faith requires it to make that title good to them notto (blitzSweet zer. Mr. Sweetzer is not interested in this question. He is willing to get out of the way if he gets the reasonable value of his land. He would rather hold on to the land. He told me so early in this session. He is a citizen of Indiana. He can make more than this out of the land. Almost anywhere in Ohio good land is worth more than 25 dollars per acre. We western men all know that. This and will very soon be worth 50 dollars an acre. the improvements in the neighborhood are going on with any degree of rapidity that land will be worth 50 dollars an acre in 2 or 3 years. the way lands are going up. It is for the interest of the Government. now to close this matter up, to settle this dispute, and to settle the title in favor of these occupiers, so that they may go and make valuable improve ments. The report of the Commissioner shows that improvements in that neighborhood have been delayed by the uncertainty of this title. Good faith, I think, requires the Government to secure to these occupants a title which the patent induced them to believe they received. Du that ound I o for it.
