Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Supreme Court of the United States, October Term, 1916: Oregon and California Railroad Company Et Al., Appelants, Vs the United States; On a Certificate From and Certiorari to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; Brief, Amicus Curia In other words, this Court held that an indefeasible and irrevocable title to the land is vested in the Rail road Company. The Government attempted to secure a forfeiture of the grant through judicial proceedings, and this Court reversed the judgment of the trial court decreeing such forfeiture, and held that under the terms of the acts of Congress by which the grant was made, the Govern ment could not secure a mandatory injunction com pelling the Railroad Company to permit settlers to go upon the land or to make sales thereof to them. This Court held that the only judgment to which the Government was entitled under its pleadings was a reversal of the decree of the District Court, and an injunction against further Violations of the covenants. This Court recognized the fact that an injunction against further Violations of the covenants would be imperfect relief, but, it said We can only enforce the provisos as written, not relieve from them. It also said, the language of the proviso is not directive; it is restrictive only. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
