The opinion is sent in reply to a letter submitting three questions for decision. Or. Garland a a ays the first Section of this act directs the jus tent of Tho Grant d e second provides for the restoration of title to the United amp it ates where lands have been erroneously certified or patented to the railroads and the third provides that Quot if in the adjustment of said Grants the Preemption entry of a Bona fide settler has been erroneously cancelled on any account each Bettler upon application shall by reinstated and allowed to perfect his entry by complying with the Public land Laws providing there in no Legal bar to such reinstatement the attorney general proceeds a the question submitted under this Section is a what class of purchasers is referred to by the cd pression a Bona tide purchasers of said unclaimed lands a a three classes of persons Are provided for under this Section. First Bona tide settlers whose Homestead or Preemption entries have been erroneously cancelled on account of a l Road Grant or withdrawal second Bona tide purchasers of such unclaimed lands third Bona fide settlers residing thereon. A the rights of the several classes to the lands referred to in the Section Are successive in the order stated m the Section. The first in right is the Homestead or Preemption settler whose entry has been wrongfully cancelled. If he elects to assert his rights and has not been disqualified by locating another claim or making another entry in lieu of the entry erroneously cancelled his right is absolute and the successive rights of Tho remaining two Delasses can not attach if he lawfully asserts his claim. If he fails to claim Tho land or is disqualified under the act. The second class of persons who Are the Bona fide purchasers of the land unclaimed by him attach and have precedence Over the third class. Tho Bona fide purchasers Here referred to Are those who. Without knowledge of wrong or error have purchased from the Railroad company lands that had been previously entered by a pre empt on or Homestead settler whose entry had been erroneously cancelled and which land the Preemption or Homestead settler did not elect to claim after the recovery by the proceedings prescribed by the second Section of the act. A the second question submitted by you is a can Tho department after adjustment of the rant by the department Issue a Patent to the Purchase of such land before the said land has been Reo Onvy Yed by Tho Road or title recovered by judicial proceedings a a the second Section declares that the Mode to finally determine whether the lands shall have been erroneously or patented shall be by the admission of the company and re conveyance or in ease of dispute but jul Lucial proceeding. Until the lands shall have been legally determined to belong to the United states the right to Issue patents under the fourth Section does not arise. If patents should Issue under the fourth Section before re conveyance or judicial recovery under the second and proceedings should then be instituted to cancel the Patent issued to the Railroad in Case of a derision Adverse to the government in the proceeding instituted two Patent would be outstanding at the same time for the same land. The express words of the Section with reference to the time when the Patent shall Issue Are a the person or persons so purchasing in Good Faith shall be entitled to the land so purchased after the Grants respectively shall have been a the third question is As follows the fifth Section of said act provides that where a Railroad company hns sold lands not conveyed to or for the use of such company and where such lands Are for any Raaon excepted from the operations of the Grant of said company it shall to lawful for the Edna tide pure Aero thereof from said company to make payment to the unt Tod states for said land and thereupon patents shall Issue therefor to the said Bona fide purchaser or his heirs or assigns. A the question submitted under this Section is whether the proviso last above quoted is confined in its application to lands within the primary granted limits or whether it applies to lands within the indemnity of which the company has made selection but which has not been approved to it. A a the first Section of the act in the use of the word a Grant must have necessarily included both the primary and indemnity limits in the adjustment As it was doubtless intended that the adjustment should be a full and final one.
