I nlur the oircumatances it was the luty of the sect o. ary in selecting and (Mttauting lands i idOT the wagon road grant to ascertain that thav wero not included in the prior grant of swamp land. And whether, aa a matter of fact thia was consciously and putpeeoij done, with regard to tho particular land in controversy or not, i cruituuplation of law it certainly was. For it was iuiKtsstble for the leorotary to decide as he did, absolutely, that the land be longed to the wagou road grant, with out at the uun titae decidiu-' that it did not belong the watup laud grant. ibis latter conclusion is a noooooory ( i. ui 'ii oi t uo loiiner, anu ihoreioia j i ii ... .. the law considers that before tha palest to the premises as inunj as ami for wagon road laud, it was deddad that they were not swamp. (Or. civ. code, 786.) It also appears to u:e that tho State is esstopped to say, as uiruinst its at a I grantee, this filaintitl', that tLts is tiot wagon road land. Tho Effete grant id this land l" pjaintiiV's vaudor aa wagon road land, and allowed it to be selected and approved as such by tho secretary, without objection, long before it sold it to the deiomlant as swaanp inrtd. The defendant has uo title to ibis property. Ho is only a purchaser in possession without tho purchase Thoitey being paid, ami stands, therefore, iu the relation of tenant to tho Stato whose alloged title under the swamp land ao he sets un in bar of the acticui. t lol lows that it the latato would be esstop pjed to set up this title, or, whut is equivalent thereto, to deny that tho premises ure wagon road land, Hie uo femlant is also, Tho State was tho granteo in both tbeto grants. It accepted the promises as part of tho wagon road grant, or a I lowed its grantees to do bo, without ob ieation on its part. 1 f, however, the land is swamp in fact, the State must m m m . have neglected to furnish the depart ment with tho proper etideuup -reof. It may hav? ayted thna beeause it pio ferred that the land should pass under the wagon road grant, and thereby be applied in aid of a useful public enter prise. Fr years alter it was made this swamp land grant was not regarded with favor in this State, nor was it thought that there was any quantity of land to which it was properly applica ble. It is a matter of history that up to 1870 the State refused to take any steps to secure land under it, because, for one reason, it preferred to mako its selections under the school land acts, even if damp enough to lie on! ted swamp, us iu most esses the dampness was a recommendation ratlnr than oth erwise. In the meantime this land was WiOOtod and approved its wagon road land, with the scipiiescence, if not tho coiicui roneO, of the State, for tho bene lit of its grantwe,and therefore it is now from tho public doiuitin for some special use of tho United Willis, and not lands disposed of to States or others. It ia aa inipOOniblo that two grunts shwuhl have i fleet OOOn tbo same land us that two bodies should occupy the same pace, ami therefore tho grant that is prior in point of time and has not n vertod to the grantor excludes or repels the other. Iu French v.
