Fremont Not a California Citizen in 1856 Trial Ruling
A jury heard the case against Merced Mining Company over timber theft on a claim in Mariposa County. The defense argued Fremont was a New York citizen, while the plaintiff claimed California citizenship. The jury ruled in Fremont’s favor, finding he was not a California citizen in 1856, allowing him access to U S Courts. News from Havana, New York, July 28, covered Cass's letter to President Martinez and regional dispatches about renewals, trials, and military movements.
