How have the courts treated the issue of Mexican land grants in the context of an appeal?

The questions discussed on this appeal might be interesting from a legal aspect were it not for the fact that the courts have so frequently passed upon them that they must be regarded as fully settled. It remains for us only to point out these decisions and apply them to the case at bar. Mr. Justice Field, who was an outstanding authority on the law involved in these Mexican land grants, and who many times had occasion to construe the meaning and effect of proceedings under this act of March 3, 1851, in an opinion confirming a title in the case of Brown v. Brackett, 21 Wall. 387, 389, 22 L. Ed. 622, concluded his opinion as follows: "Every conceivable point respecting these grants, their validity, their extent, and the operation of decrees confirming claims to land under them, has been frequently examined; and the law upon these subjects has been repeated even to wearisomeness."
