Adverse Possession - Severance Of Minerals And Surface - Adverse Possession As Affecting Title To The Minerals, John M. Ulman Dec 1938

Adverse Possession - Severance Of Minerals And Surface - Adverse Possession As Affecting Title To The Minerals, John M. Ulman

Michigan Law Review

The land in question was set aside by the state for school purposes. For some time prior to 1881 one Bailey had been in possession. At that time he and his children, to whom he had deeded parts of the land, conveyed the mineral interests to a grantee from whom plaintiff claims. At the time of the conveyance the evidence was insufficient to show title by adverse possession in Bailey. Bailey and his grantees, from whom defendant claims, remained in possession until this action was brought. The limitation ceased running against the state by an act of the legislature at …


Covenants - Effect Of Change Of Conditions On Equitable Restrictions, Dan K. Cook Jun 1938

Covenants - Effect Of Change Of Conditions On Equitable Restrictions, Dan K. Cook

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff was a lot owner in a residential district consisting of twenty-three blocks. Each lot in the district was subject to a restriction, imposed by the grantor, which limited the use of the lots to residence purposes. Subsequent to the imposition of this restriction, numerous oil and gas wells had been drilled in the territory surrounding the district, so that the lots in the district had depreciated in value approximately thirty-five to fifty per cent. By ordinance, the use zoning area which included the district had been changed from a residence use to an oil and gas use. At the …

Contracts - Moral Obligation As Consideration - Promise To Pay For Benefits Previously Received, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiffs, assignees of an oil lease of land, after drilling a dry hole thereon, did not comply with the requirements of their agreement for further development within a stipulated time, in consequence of which there was a formal termination in accordance with the terms of the assignment. An extension of the lease, which the lessees obtained, was assigned to the defendants, who had knowledge of the foregoing circumstances and plaintiffs' claim of a property right in the dry hole. Defendants promised to pay plaintiffs for the use of the dry hole, but subsequently repudiated any liability on the promise. Held …

Eminent Domain-Validity Of State Statute Jan 1936

Eminent Domain-Validity Of State Statute

Michigan Law Review

As upon certiorari, the New Mexico Supreme Court considered the question, whether it is "within legislative competence to declare a public use in the industry of coal mining, so as to permit taking private property in aid of it." Plaintiff had obtained a judgment of condemnation, and defendant attacked it as offensive to the New Mexico constitutional provision: "Private property shall not be taken or damaged for public use without just compensation." The opinion recognized the existence of an "orthodox" and a "liberal" doctrine of construing "public use." While the court found that, unlike Nevada's or Utah's, New Mexico's well-being …

Railroads-Right To Drill For Oil Or Gas On Right Of Way Jun 1932

Railroads-Right To Drill For Oil Or Gas On Right Of Way

Michigan Law Review

A railroad had acquired a one-hundred-foot strip of land through a farm, the deed describing the land granted by metes and bounds, and "for railroad purposes only." For fifty years the defendant has continuously used the strip for railroad purposes. The plaintiff, who became owner of the farm and successor to whatever rights in the strip remained to his grantor, sought to enjoin the defendant from drilling for oil and gas in the strip. Held, that the railroad had purchased a fee simple absolute in the strip and was therefore entitled to develop its own minerals. Quinn v. Pere …
