Francis R. Sanchez vs The United States
      Memorial for four thousand Acres of Land
      The claimant produced in evidence his memorial to the Governor of 
Florida dated the 18th December 1815, also the Governors Decree granting 
him the Land in his Memorial of four thousand Acres __  This case being 
submitted, and there being an absolute title of property in the 
Memorial from the Law and Usage of this Province,  We feel no doubt, 
had the claimant applied to that Government, that his title would have 
been recognized as a Sufficient one, We therefore recommend the same to 
Congress for Confirmation
