Hullinger v. Big Sespe Oil Co.

Action for Damages—Delivery of Lease of Oil Lands—Items of Damage—Uncertain and Indefinite Findings.—In this action to recover damages because of the failure of the defendant to deliver to the plaintiff a lease supported by fee title to certain oil lands together with an oil well assumed to be located thereon, and because of alleged breach of other covenants made in connection therewith, it is held that the findings as to the different items of alleged damage are too uncertain and indefinite to support the judgment, except as to the item as to the amount of plaintiff’s damage on account of the non-delivery of oil by defendant called for by the agreement.

Id.—Mnmsre Law—Title Under Location.—Title to mining land by location and possession is good as against every person contending against it except the government of the United States.
