INDEX.

ACCRETION.

A fractional section of land, on the left bank of the Missouri River, in Iowa,
was surveyed by United States surveyors in 1851, and lot 4 therein
was formed, and so designated on the plat filed, and as containing
37.24 acres, the north boundary of it being on the Missouri River.
In 1853 the lot was entered and paid for, and was patented in June,
1855, as lot 4. Afterwards, by ten mesne conveyances, made down to
1888, the lot was conveyed as lot 4, and became vested in the plaintiff.
About 1853 new land was formed against the north line, and con-
tinued to form until 1870, so that then more than 40 acres had been
formed by accretion by natural causes and imperceptible degrees
within the lines running north and south on the east and west of the
lot, and the course of the river ran far north of the original meander
line. The defendant claimed to own a part of the new land by deed
from one who had entered upon it. The plaintiff filed a bill to
establish his title to the new land, claiming it as a part of lot 4. On
demurrer to the bill: Held, (1) The bill alleging that the land was
formed by "imperceptible degrees," the time during which the large
increase was made being nearly 20 years, the averment must stand,
notwithstanding the character of the river, and the rapid changes con-
stantly going on in its banks; (2) Where a water line is the boundary
of a given lot, that line, no matter how it shifts, remains the bound-
ary; and a deed describing the lot by its number conveys the land up
to such shifting water line; so that, in the view of accretion, the water
line, if named as the boundary, continues to be the boundary, and a
deed of the lot carries all the land up to the water line; (3) Accretion
is an addition to land coterminous with the water, which is formed so
slowly that its progress cannot be perceived, and does not admit of the
view, that, in order to be accretion, the formation must be one not
discernible by comparison at two distinct periods of time; (4) The
patent having conveyed the lot as lot 4, and the successive deeds there-
after having conveyed it by the same description, the patent and the
deeds covered the successive accretions, and neither the United States,
nor any grantor, retained any interest in any of the accretion; (5)
Where a plat is referred to in a deed as containing a description of
land, the courses, distances, and other particulars appearing upon the
plat are to be as much regarded, in ascertaining the true description

[ocr errors]

of the land and the intent of the parties, as if they had been expressly
enumerated in the deed. Jefferis v. East Omaha Land Co., 178.

ADMIRALTY.

1. The provision of the act of March 3, 1887, c. 373, § 1, 24 Stat. 552, that
"no civil suit" shall be brought before a Circuit or District Court
against any person in any other district than that of which he is an
inhabitant, does not apply to cases in admiralty. In re Louisville
Underwriters, 488.

2. A libel in admiralty in personam may be maintained against a corpora-
tion in any district by service there upon an attorney appointed by the
corporation, as required by the statutes of the State, to be served with
legal process.

AMENDMENT OF RECORD.

When it is found by a Circuit Court of the United States that the clerk
has failed to put in the record an order which was made at the next
preceding term of the court, remanding a case to the District Court,
the Circuit Court may direct such an order to be entered nunc pro tunc.
In re Wight, 136.

APPEAL.

1. When the term at which an appeal is returnable goes by without the
filing of the record, a second appeal may be taken, if the time for
appeal has not expired. Evans v. State Bank, 330.

2. If an appellee does not avail himself of his right, under the ninth rule,
to docket and dismiss an appeal for neglect of the appellant to docket
the case and file the record, as required by the rules, the appellant may
file the record at any time during the return term. 1b.

3. The failure to obtain a citation or give a bond within two years from
the rendition of a decree does not deprive this court of jurisdiction
over an appeal, when the transcript of the record is filed here during
the term succeeding its allowance. Ib.

4. The holder of $14,000 out of $955,000 of railroad bonds secured by a
mortgage was permitted by the Circuit Court to appeal to this court,
in the name of the trustee in the mortgage, from a decree which it was
claimed affected the interest of such holder. It appearing that some
time before the appeal was taken the trustee had executed a release of
his right to appeal, and of errors in the decree, and that the court had,
in the decree, found that there was no proof showing that the trustee
had not acted in good faith; Held, that the release bound all the bond-
holders represented by the trustee; that it was properly brought before
this court, though not found in the transcript of the record; that the
appeal was the appeal of the trustee; and that on the motion of the
appellee, it must be dismissed. Elwell v. Fosdick, 500.

5. When the record is not filed in this court at the term succeeding the
