Summary:
Laws of 1890, Chapter 279 recognized the persisting legal interest in escheated real property of any person who could have
inherited ("succeeded by devise") the property except for the fact of "his alienage (non-citizenship) or a legal incapacity
to take or convey the property so escheated." The exact purpose for which this volume was used is unclear, but it very possibly
documents communications between the Commissioners of the Land Office and parties with interest in real property escheated
to the state.
