Syllabus

<p>A sale of land in the city of San Francisco by a portion of the Board of Commissioners of the Funded Debt does not pass a legal title upon which ejectment can be maintained</p> <p>The Act of the Legislature confers the power on Jive Commissioners, and though a majority may control, yet it is necessary that all should meet and consult, or have notice of the meeting, that they may attend if they desire.</p> <p>A general resolution passed by the whole Board a year before the sale in question, that they would sell all the city property to pay her debts, will not give validity to the particular sale made in pursuance of a resolution to sell the particular lot, adopted by only three of the Board shortly before the sale.</p>
