Justice Detail

Derby v. Gage et al.

Aldrich et al. v. Aldrich et al.

In 1849, Joscelyn obtained a military bounty land warrant for land in La Salle county. Though initially cancelled as fraudulent, subsequent restoration of the warrant rendered the cancellation void. As a result, two separate claims existed on the property. Stephen Aldrich, a claimant through Joscelyn's heirs, sued Cyrus Aldrich, a claimant through the government land office, in a bill of conveyance to obtain title to the land. The circuit court ruled for Stephen Aldrich and Cyrus Aldrich appealed. The Supreme Court affirmed Joscelyn's heirs' equitable rights over Aldrich and his successor, Harvey Morgan, due to their knowledge of the prior claim.
