Opinion Summary
AI Abstract

In the case of Olin v. Kitzmiller et al., 1921, the United States Supreme Court addressed a dispute over land ownership in Virginia. The plaintiff, Olin, claimed that he was entitled to certain lands under a patent granted by the state of Virginia while it still had sovereignty over what is now West Virginia. However, these lands were already occupied and improved upon by other individuals (Kitzmiller and others), who held deeds from West Virginia for their parcels of land. The court ruled against Olin's claim on two grounds: first, because his patent did not specifically describe or identify any particular tract; secondly because even if it did so with sufficient certainty to be valid as against unappropriated lands at its date - which was denied - yet such description would not avail him as against subsequent grantees from the State holding under specific grants duly recorded.
