Chancery Doubts Over 19th Century Mining Case Deeds
The master dismisses a bill by the personal representative of John Sadleir seeking 40,000 to recover funds used for purchasing the Asna Maria and Victoria Mines from Michael Simons. The court finds no decreeable relief beyond law, noting the lien on foreign immovable property cannot be declared and that the mining company suit lacks proper relief. The court references a prior decision about freehold inheritance and Escheat, leaving the bill dismissed.
