Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Supreme Court of Montana Territory, Vol. 1: From December Term, 1868, to January Term, 1873, Inclusive The Territory of Montana was organized by the act of Congress, approved May 26, 1864. The ninth section of this act vests the judicial power in a supreme court, dis triot courts, probate courts and justices of the peace. The supreme court consists of a chief justice and two associate justices. The first term of the supreme court of Montana was held in Virginia City, the seat of government of the Terri tory, and commenced on May 17, 1865. During the terms that were held from May, 1865, to December, 1868, the opinions of the court in the cases that were determined were rarely delivered in writing. Orders were generally made that the judgment of the court below should be affirmed or reversed. Written opinions were filed in every case that was decided from the December term, 1868, to the January term, 1873. The records of the court before the December term, 1868, are imperfect, and the pleadings, briefs and papers, in a majority of the causes that were heard before this term, cannot be found. For these reasons this volume contains a report of the cases which were argued and determined in the supreme court of the Ter ritory from the December term, 1868, to the January term, 1873.

Excerpt: ...dire does not at all tend to show any bias, either implied or actual. (Id. 2048.) Objection is also made to the ruling of the court in allowing Nelson Grandchamp, a boy 15 years of age, to testify. Section 2440, Penal Code 1895, is as follows: "The rules for determining the competency of witnesses in civil actions are applicable also to criminal actions and proceedings, except as otherwise provided in this Code." Section 3162, Code of Civil Procedure 1895, is as follows: " The following persons cannot be Witnesses: 1. Those who are of unsound mind at the time of their production for examination. 2. Children under 10 years of age, who appear incapable of receiving just impressions of the facts respecting which they are examined, or of relating them truly." It is argued by appellant that this witness did not sufliciently understand the nature of an oath, and his duties and obligations as a witness. The witness, upon being asked if he understood what he had done when he took the oath as a witness, answered that he did, and that he knew the difference between truth and falsehood and the difference between telling the truth and telling a lie; and that he knew that he was there to tell the truth, and that he knew the truth was that which was so, and not that which was not so, and that he understood he was there to tell what was so. He said the truth did not mean to tell something he did not know, but, on the contrary, meant to tell what he knew. He said he knew that if he did not tell the truth he would be punished. There was a long examination of the witness, and the answers were to the effect above noted. Counsel finally frightened and confused the witness by his questions, so that he stood mute, but when...

Excerpt: ... the conveyed portion by metes and bounds, referred to in the former deed. All reference to metals, ores, quartz-bearing rock, etc., is omitted. In determining the efiect of these conveyances, regard must be had not only to the terms employed in them and the surrounding circumstances, but also to the character of the property granted. An ordinary conveyance of agricultural land or of town lots describes the subject of the gra.nt merely by metes and bounds, as so much of the earth's surface. Yet, without specific mention, the grant includes the right of support from the lands adjacent thereto, as well as everything above and beneath the surface, unless, by apposite words contained in it, some reser-vation is made. These rights, conveyed without. specific description, are not mere incidents, but are substantive parts of that which is described, to the extent that without them the subject of the grant is not susceptible of its appropriate use and enjoyment; in other words, the rights conveyed extend far beyond the specific words of description contained in the deed. Now, a patent from the United States to a quartz claim con veys everything which is granted by an ordinary conveyance between private parties, and in many cases much more. If the conditions of the law have been observed, it conveys, in addition to what is found beneath the surface described therein, all the veins, to their utmost depths, the tops or apices of which are found within the surface granted, though they so far depart from the perpendicular in their descent into the earth as to extend 'outside of the vertical side lines of such surface. As, in a conveyance of agricultural lands or town lots, everything...

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded to the district court with directions to dismiss the proceedings. Reversed and remanded. MR. CHIEF J UsTIoE BRANTLY and MR. J USTICE MILBURN concur.

The evidence touching the interest which Tinkler at one time had in the sheep, as well as that in respect of the chattel mortgage made by him to Kent, and of the notice of sale referred to (which might possibly be considered by the jury as in the nature of an admission against interest, or as a declaration in disparagement of title), was relevant, as having a tendency to throw light upon the question whether Tinkler possessed an interest in the sheep at the time they were seized; but wholly immaterial and irrelevant was the evidence ad duced tending to show either that the, bank, ' in causing the execution to be issued, or the defendant, in levying it, acted in the belief that the sheep, or any interest in them, belonged to Tinkler. Its natural and almost inevitable effect would be to mislead the jury and divert their attention from the issues to a question not involved; its admission was error prejudicial to plaintifl'. 'We have, moreover, carefully examined the record and find no evidence whatever tending to establish estoppel. Consistently with the theory entertained by its learned Judge, the District Court charged in substance, that if the jury found that the bank, by the mortgage made by Tinkler, and the proceeding taken to foreclose it, was induced to place in the hands of the sheriff the execution which he levied upon the sheep, and that the bank, by reason of the contents of the mortgage and notice of sale, in good faith believed thatTinkler owned an interest in the sheep on January 12, 1893. then defendant must prevail, because the plaintiff would not be permitted in this action to deny that Tinkler was owner of an interest. For the reasons heretofore stated, this was misdirection. The judgment and...

"(6) That said Girson and Neer, nor either of them, have returned or offered to return said property. "(7) That on the tenth day of August, 1909, an execution was issued to the sherifi of said county on said judgment against said Girson and Neer, and returned wholly unsatisfied on the twenty-first day of August, 1909. "(8) That the defendants Rafish and Fried have paid the costs of the supreme court and of the district court, to-wit, $45.55. That they have not paid the principal sum of $850, nor any part thereof, nor the interest due thereon, nor returned the said property to plaintiff, nor has plaintifl' now the said property. " (9) That plaintiff has sustained damages in the premises in the sum of $850, together with interest at the legal rate from the eighth day of December, 1908.'_' The answer of the defendants Fried and Rafish admits all the allegations of the complaint, except that a return, or an offer t0 return, the property has not been made to plaintifi, and that execution has been issued against defendants Girson and Neer, and returned wholly unsatisfied. The answer of defendant Neer is substantially a copy of that of Fried and Rafish. Girson did not appear in the action. The trial court granted a nonsuit on the ground that the complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. In our view the ruling was erroneous. It is alleged that the undertaking was given by the defendants to procure a stay of execution; that the judgment of the district court was affirmed; that the property has not been returned; that an execution has been issued and...

The plaintiff testified that he went to South Bend and attempted to sell stock; that he interested certain prospective purchasers in the matter, and he says: "They raised but one question, and that was the title. They were satisfied with everything with reference to the company, except the title of the property. " " " They were satisfied to take stock, provided the title to the property was correct. They decided on Dr. S. L. Kilmer to come to Butte to examine the title. " " "' I stayed there about two months, and I first had intimation that the company was not incorporated, or that the title was not good about one month after I went back there, and, when I had information that this title was bad. they wanted to know what was the matter that I did not send their man back here. I was paying his expenses to come back here to investigate; and I left because I could not do any business, because they would not talk to me, because they thought I did not have anything, I guess. They thought I was a fake, I guess, toward the last, and I arrived here about the 8th or 9th of August, 1906." The plaintiff introduced in evidence a contract dated June 9, 1906, authorizing him to sell 50,000 shares of the capital stock of the Butte-Meaderville Copper Mining Company under the following conditions, to-wit: 5,000 shares to be sold on or before July 4, 1906, and the balance on or before August 9, 1906, each of said shares to net the company $2.50. It appears that on July 11, 1906, another contract was sent him, wherein he was authorized to sell not to exceed 100,000 shares of the capital stock at the price of $1 per share. When he returned to Butte, he gave as a reason for...

Excerpt: ...jurisdiction of the offense, and the complainant voluntarily submitted to a trial, thereafter taking an appeal to the district court, he could not question the jurisdiction of the latter to try the cause and enter judgment. Upon the questions thus raised the cause was submitted for decision. 1. It is conceded by counsel for complainant and the attorney general that a police judge is authorized by statute to grant a change of the place of trial in a criminal cause, upon a motion supported by a. proper showing, either of bias or prejudice of such judge, or prejudice in the citizens of the township, by reason of which in either case the defendant cannot have a fair and impartial trial. (Pen. Code, sec. 2685.) We are inclined to the opinion that the concession is properly made, though the question does not arise here, for the reason that the jurisdiction of police judges extends to all misdemeanors enumerated in the statute defining the jurisdiction of these officers (Pol. Code, sec. 4911, amended by Sess. Laws 1903, p. 27, Chapter 16), including the ofiense defined in section 457, supra, and is concurrent with that of justices of the peace. The statute (Pen. Code, sec. 2682) requires the justice or police judge to enter upon his docket all proceedings in the cause, and, upon a change of the place of trial, to transmit with the files a certified copy of his minutes. For some unexplained reason the police judge failed to observe this requirement. There is no provision in the Penal Code indicating what record shall be transmitted to the district court when an appeal is taken. But we must presume that the original files, together with a copy of the docket minutes, constitute the rec0rd." This is the requirement in civil cases, the trial...

In the case at bar, when no certain number of policemen has ever been fixed as constituting the police department, and under an ordinance providing for as many "patrolmen as may be required," and bearing in mind that the mayor is invested by the Metropolitan Police Law with full control of the police depart ment, subject only to the limitations of the Act, it was left to the mayor to say, when the financial condition of the city demanded. who, and how many, of the patrolmen should be placed upon the eligible list to again be employed when their services were required. MR. JUSTICE SMITH delivered the opinion of the court. This cause relates to the same controversy and state of facts as are disclosed in State ea: rel. Rowling v. District Court, 41 Mont. 532. On July 9, 1910, relators filed with the district court their affidavit for a writ of mandate to compel the mayor of Butte to restore them to active service. The respondent answered, admitting substantially all the averments of the aflidavit and alleging aflirmatively that in relieving relators from active service he was exercising a. power belonging to him as mayor, and that such power was invoked solely in the interests of economy. On October 1, 1910, the court denied a peremptory writ and entered a formal judgment to that efiect. The appeals are from the judgment and an order denying a new trial. But one question is necessary of decision in order to dispose of the appeals, and that is: In whom does the power to reduce the police force reside'! We said in State ex rel. Rowling v. District Court, supra, that this authority is assuredly lodged somewhere. The respondent claims that it rests with him, while the relators maintain that it resides in the...
