The Trustees of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, appellants, v. Thomas Dyer, 
et al., appellees.

Appeal from the Cook County Court of Common Pleas.

This was a bill in chancery, filed by Dyer and others, to secure the pre-
emption right to the southeast fractional quarter of section twenty-one, in 
township thirty-nine, range fourteen, east of the third principal meridian, 
being canal land. The points of discussion in this case, were precisely the 
same as those raised in the proceeding case of the Canal Trustees v. Brainard.

I. N. Arnold, N. H. Purple and R. S. Blackwell, for appellants.

S. A. Douglas and J. H. Collins, for appellees.

Trumbull, J. The questions involved in this case have all been settled by the 
decision in the case of The Board of Trustees of Illinois and Michigan Canal 
v. Brainard, decided at the present term, ante, p. 487, and a decree will be 
entered in this court, conformably to the principles settled in that, case, 
allowing appellees to purchase at the appraisement, out-lots numbered three 
and sixteen, as designated upon the plat and subdivision of the premises in 
question, made and filed for record, by the said trustees, on the thirty-first 
day of August, eighteen hundred and forty-eight, said out-lots three and 
sixteen, embracing all the improvements made upon the land in controversy, 
prior to December 2, 1848.

Decree reversed and modified, decree entered in this court.

Decree reversed.
