Syllabus

<p>TTndbb the confirmatory clause of the San Francisco Water Lot Act of March 26th, 1851, a lessee of the property known as the “ Government Reserve,” under lease from Capt. Keyes in 1849, is entitled at the termination of the lease to remove the buildings erected upon the property during the lease.</p> <p>The effect of this clause, if not to give validity to the lease, was to secure to the lessee the possession and enjoyment of the property for the time and in the manner therein named. The intention was to confirm to the lessee the particular estate and interest mentioned in the lease, with the privileges and immunities provided therein.</p> <p>The term “ estate ” as used in the confirmatory clause of the Water Lot Act of March 26th, 1851, is not restricted to the mere possession under the lease—the mere term of the lease—but means the right, title and interest of the lessee.</p>
