The document presented today gives beside the decision, a brief history of the litigation and the evidence and argument of either side Us the controversy. When the suit waa instituted a receiver waa placed in charge of the property and il Is understood this arrangement continues. The case is distinct from a second suit brought by the government against the company seeking damage on the charge that the company instituted a revolutionary movement. The contract which the decision rescinds was executed (p 1883 and the clause which waa the cause of the suit required the dredging of the navigable streams of Bermudes by the comimny. The fact that this dredging was not done the court finds to have been established notwithstanding the showing to Lbe contrary sought to be made by tbe defendant company. The company In Its argument tn the case seta up the claim that Its title to the property were not based on the contract in quea-ioIt alleges that the terms of this contract were fulfilled, however, and If they had not been the company was not limited by the terms of the contract to any period of time in which lu terms might be complied with Finally, the company argued that the stipulation to dredge the rivera never legally existed, and If It did, was covered by an alternative proposition, which was to construct a railroad and tha alternative proposition had been met. This argument is aniwrrrd by the court in this language: The nonfulfillment of the contract on the part of the company la fully proved in these proceeding.
