| Parties | WILSON CYPRESS CO. v. POZO Y MASCOS et al. |
| Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Fifth Circuit |
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Florida; Jas. W. Locke, Judge.
Suit in equity by the Wilson Cypress Company against Enrique del Pozo y Mascos and others. Decree for defendants, and complainant appeals. Affirmed.
J. C. Cooper and C. M. Cooper, both of Jacksonville, Fla., for appellant.
Wm. W. Dewhurst, of St. Augustine, Fla., and Jos. H. Jones, of Orlando, Fla., for appellees.
Before PARDEE and SHELBY, Circuit Judges, and GRUBB, District Judge.
The lands in controversy were not segregated from the public domain, and the title thereto remained in the United States until the issuance of the patent; therefore they were not taxable by the state of Florida at the several times they were listed for taxes and sold for nonpayment thereof.
In the other questions involved in the case we find no reversible error.
The decree appealed from is affirmed.
