"I thort that wur yur bisness," continued the swearer. "I thort so; but jest this time you've kim upon a fool's errand. Durn the government grant! durn your pre-emption right! an' durn yur title-papers too! I don't valley them more'n them thur corn-shucks I don't. I've got my pre-emption dokyment inside hyur.

It is true, they have the pre-emption right that is, they may purchase, if they please, and send you to seek a location elsewhere; but this is a privilege those gentry rarely please to indulge in being universally too poor to purchase." "What then?"
The speaker turned back into his cabin, and for a moment I lost sight of him. "Pre-emption document!" he said. Was it possible he had purchased the place, and was gone to fetch his title-deeds? If so My reflection was cut short.
I have used my pre-emption right, or I would take that myself. I advise you to secure it. I do, indeed. You couldn't use your pre-emption right to a better advantage. I am sure you couldn't." "Well," said Albert, "if Whisky Jim will sell out, why not get him to hold it for me for three weeks until I am of age?" "He wouldn't sell, but he has forfeited it. He neglected to stay on it.
He is now awaiting a bid from the Papal government, which, I believe, has the right of pre-emption whenever any relics of ancient art are discovered.

By the treaty of Aranjuez between France and Spain, signed on March 21, Spain ceded Louisiana to France, reserving the right of pre-emption, and undertook to wage war on Portugal in order to detach it from the British alliance.
During the summer, Douglas canvassed the State, speaking repeatedly in behalf of this larger project. For a time he hoped that Senator Breese would co-operate with him. Numerous conferences took place both before and after Congress had assembled; but Douglas found his colleague reluctant to abandon his pre-emption plan.
As soon as the place was habitable, my mother and sister Jessie came out to stay with me, for in order to hold his pre-emption my father was obliged to make it his "home." Before we were fairly settled, my mother was forced to feed and house a great many land-seekers who had no other place to stay.
A more mitigated practice has prevailed in later times, of holding such cargoes subject only to a right of pre-emption; that is, to a right of purchase, upon a reasonable compensation, to the individual whose property is thus diverted.
