A decision has lately taken pla^ in the
courts of New Orleans, involving an impor
tant principle, of such general interest that
we thought our readers would be glad to
peruselhe opinion of the court in the case;
and* therefore have copied it in tins day’s pa
per. The principle established by it is the
right cf aliens to inherit real property in
the state of Louisiana. If this has not been

justice.—^id.
REPORT OF tHE CASE, AT N. ORLEANS,
Phillips vs. Rogers and others.
3VPOMRXT or THE COCHT.
- NTarVm, J. delivered the opinion of
the court. The only question for the
decision of the court is, whether an alien
may inherit real estate in Louisiana. ^
it is first necessary to inquire whether he
may hold real estate.
The defendant’s counsel contends he
may not.
He relies oh ^*26, 5, 6, «. 2, id. 59,77. 4,
to shew that aliens could not at Rome; but
this shews that they Could not take by will.
Aon habet testamenli Jactionem activam
vcl passlvam,
2. He next endeavors to shew that the
droit d*aubaine prevails in.Spain. In this!
he docs not appear to have succeeded: but,
if he had, it would oniy shew that an alien
may not transfer property by will or suc
cession.
3. The Spanish statutes are next relied
on, to shew that the sale, gift, or aliena
tion, of cities, towns, castles, lands, 01* here
ditaments, heredamientosy to ar» alien, is
prohibited.
The plaintiff’s counsel contends, that the
prohibition is confined to estate^, to which
some jurisdiction, or civil or military pow
er, is annexed, and produces, in favor of
this position, a legislative construction of
these lavs, which he finds in the Parti das
and the jYeuva Rvcopilacion andtheLcycs
dc las TndlaQ Ordenamicnto real and Au
tos Accordudos.
Naturalization may be obtained in Spain
by an inheritance,-p^r hercdamienio—Parti-
da 3 4, 4, 2: by the acquisition, by purchase
or donation, of real property, bienes raiccs.
Aeuva Rtcopilaeion. Arid foreigners are
forbidden to trade to the Indies, unless they
have acquired real property of four thou
sand ducats, by purchase or inheritance.
Reccpilaciou de las leycs de las Indi-
Now* it is impossible to give effect to
these laws, by which naturalizarion may be
acquired by an alien, unless the construc
tion of the former laws contended for by the
plaintiff’s counsel, be adopted. It is u c ->t
illusory to say that a foreigner may obtain
naturalization by acquiring real estate, if
he be not permitted to maKe the acquisi-
tioji?
If the laws, quoted bv the plaintiff’s coun
sel, be attentively examined, the construc
tion contended for will riot appear a forced
onA. ‘We declare that we do not intend
to give or grant to any king, or other for
eign person, out of our kingdom, any city,
neglects to come or send', for it, it shall be
employed in pious uses.
The Rcco/iilarion de la* leys de la* In-
dia* has the following proviso: If he. who
died left a writing, in form of ax testament,
whichis to be proven by witnesses, as being
a stranger, or fieregrina, the cognizance of
:t belongs to the ordinary jndges. _ .
Hence; wc conclude, that the maxim of
the Roman law, which denied to aliens /ea-
tamenti /actionem, aitivan: vc. /laseivatn,
•docs not prevail in Spain. .
' Biit tho paintifTs counsel shews, that the
viceroys of 'Spanish America and the audi
ences, are directed, ‘in case persons, with
suffic ient vouchers, claim the estates of pci -
sons who died in the Indies, they may re
ceive them, unless they be strangers; and
that the kmg’sW'jects may not receive die
estates of strangers/—Reco/iilacion de las
leu» India*. 2, 32, 44. And this is present
ed to us as proof that the principle prevails,
at least in Spanish America.
By the 26;h law of the same title, ‘testa
mentary executors, heirs, and other retai
ners of goods of deceased persons, who ac*
cording to the will, are bound to deliver
them, in whole or in part, to persons within
these our kingdoms, are ordered, at the ex
piration of one year, to send whatever they
may h;vc collected, to the case dc ccr.traia-
cion of Seville.’ . • ,
Not only aliens, but many of the Spanish
subjects themselves, were excluded from the
dominions of the king of Spain in America,
and the property bf those who, contrary to
the prohibition, introduced themselves there,
was liable to confiscation. On the death of
any individual in the American provinces
whose property was not claimed there, it
was deemed proper to submit the rights of
alien <?laiman*s, or of Spanish claimants,
not resident on the spot, and even the claims
of the colonists to the estate of an alien, to a
severe scrutiny in Europe. For this pur
pose, if the claimant resided in Spain, the
estate was to be sent to th" casa de contra-
tucion in Seville, Where the scrutiny was to
take place. But, if the deceased was an
alien, then, if an alien claimed the estate, the
cognizance of the claim was exclusively con
fined to the council of the Indies.—Recofii-
tacion de la* leys de las Indies, 9, 37; 24.
The colonial authorities, even the vice roys
and the audiences, were interdicted from in
terfering in such cases. Wc see, therefore,
nothing in these statutes that affect the pre
sent case.
By the 15th article of the instructions of
gov. Grayso to the commandants, relating
to the grant of lands, provides that, in case
of death, he (the grantee,) may leave them
(the premises,) to his lawful heir, if he lias
any resident in the country; but, it he has
no such heir in the country, they shall in
no event go to an heir who is not in the
country, unless such heir shall resolve to
conic and live in it.—5. I.avis of the United
Slates, 545.
This condition, directed to attend the
grant of land, is a strong presumption that
there did not exist, in the knowledge of thc
governor, any principle of law which forbade
aliens from acquiring land.
Nothing in the laws of Spain, or bf her
colonies, appears to us to exclude aliens from
the inheritance of real estate.
Our own statute makes no'distinction in
the nature of property, in order to regulate
the succession.—Code Civil, 146, art. 9,
10. Nothing shews that aliens must be
excluded from tiie acquisition of real or
personal property, by will or succession,
and are not capable to inherit either-
AH free persons, even the minor, pupil,
lunatic, and ideot, may transmit their es
tate, ab intestat, and inherit from others.—
Slaves alone are incapable of either.—Id.
158, art. 64. •"
Nothing appears to us to exclude aliens
from the inheritance of real property; and
we think that the district judge erred in re
fusing to the plaintiff the real property left
by his brotlser.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged, and
noa Ayres, Chili, Venezuela, and Mexico,
who are engaged in the same cause.
10th. In the act of leaving the port, and
during the cruise, the commander must take
care that the contracts, -under which tho
men entered the service, be read to them.
11th. In case-of any doubts, ou points
not expressly defined in these articles, tho
commander nvist regulate his conduct by
the provisions of the general ordinances, and
by the practice of civilized nations.
12th. All the articles of those instruc
tions are equally valid and in force ag inst
the Portuguese and the Spaniards.
The government reposes in the gooe qual
ities of all commanders, that they will be
have in such a manner as to do* honor to
our Bag. To this effect, I have-granted
these presents, under my signature, anil
countersigned by my secretary.

The laws, which are offered as evidence
of the legislative construction contended for
are positive. It is further contended, that,
if they do not show that the former ones are
to hq thus construed, these arb to be im
plied repealed.
The legislature authorising aliens to ob
tain naturalization, by the acqpistion of land
ed property, must necessarily authorize such
an acquisition, and effectually repeal the
laws which forbade it. Cum quid r'jncedi-
rur, Conceditur id fier qzeed fzervenitur ad

If we arc enabled to conclude that aliens
Can hold real estate in Spain, it remains’ to
he inquired whether they may acquire it b;.
inheritance'.
Here it is proper to remark, that none of
those positive laws cited affect, except bv a
remote construction, the rig’# of acquiring
real estate by inheritance.
Any person may be instituted as heir,
who is not prohibited from being so.—Par-
tida, 6, 3.2.
In the fourth law of the same title, per
sons who are incapacitated from inheriting
are enumerated, and aliens are not spoken
court be annulled, avoided, and reversed:
and il is ordered that Thomas Phillipps do
recover the whole estate, real and personal,
of Archibald Phillips, deceased, his brother;
and, as Thomas Rogers was admitted as
heir, the costs to be paid out of the succes
sion.

Persons who may not make a will, are
enumerated in Partida, 6, 1, 13: aliens are
not among them.
The third law, of the same title, provides,
that fiereffrinos, pilgrims, may make their
•wills.
It would be idle to suppose that the cir
cumstances of a Spanish subject, going on
a pilgrimage, in his own country, would re
quire a positive law to authorise him to
make a wiil.- The inference.is strong' that
alien pilgrims’ areireferred to'. •.

of any nation, a civil and polite behavior is

take supplies by. force, If any article is
wanted, it must be obtained only by a volun
