The Congress of the State of Coahuila and Texas, in order to amplify
the law of the 27th of April last, which treats of reducing munici-

private property, decrees:
In case no adjoining proprietor appears, wishing to take for him-
self the country securities, of which the decree of the 27th of April
treats, they shall be awarded to the person, in whose favor said proprie-
tors have yielded their right; but should any one of the adjoining pro-
prietors contend for the acquisition, he shall obtain it, although he should
be a proprietor in a less amount of adjoining land than the person who
represents the right ceded. Should neither the adjoining proprietors, or
the persons to whom they have transferred their rights solicit said secu-
rities, those persons shall obtain them, who fixed the first prices.
For its fulfilment, the Governor of the State shall cause it to be print-
ed, published, and circulated.
