UNITED STATES v. SEWELL

U.S. Supreme Court
May 31, 1910

United States v. Welch, 217 U.S. 333, followed. Before the Government is required to pay for land held to have been taken by it, the owners should furnish a survey definitely ascertaining the land by metes and bounds.

Per Curiam.

The judgment is affirmed on the authority of United States v. Welch, decided April 25, 1910, ante, p. 333; but it is ordered that before the Government is required to pay for the land held to have been taken plaintiffs below shall furnish a survey definitely ascertaining the land by metes and bounds.

Affirmed.
