It was an action of ejectment brought by the plaintiff in error. Delauriere, against Emison. Both parties claimed titles under acts of Congress. The case was carried to the Supreme Court of Missouri, where the decision was against Delauriere, and he sued out a writ of error to bring the question before this court. Delauriere claimed under a Spanish concession, granted by Delassus, and subsequently confirmed by Congress; and Emison under an act of Congress granting certain land to Missouri, and sold by that State.
