Melville Fuller,
Gillis v. Stinchfield — Opinion of the Court
“ But the decision of the supreme court was clearly based upon the estoppel deemed by that court to operate against plaintiffs in error upon general principles of law and the statute of California in respect of such a conveyance as that to Stinchfield, irrespective of any federal question. And this was an independent ground, broad enough to maintain the judgment. The writ of error must therefore be dismissed. ”
