Sol #1216: 1873 Seneca ejectment vs Dinter was never executed — not a railway possession judgment

Sol Finding #1216 isolates a concrete pre-1875 lawsuit named in the original *Lavery* opinion (75 Hun 396–401, 1894): a Seneca Nation of Indians ejectment judgment against William Dinter, recovered October 23, 1873, over land including the Salamanca premises later contested by the railway and Georgia Lavery. This is a retrospective judicial account — not the original 1873 docket, pleadings, or a complete list of earlier lease decisions (which remain unlocated).

Bradley’s narrative: Snow’s 1866 lease chain reached Dinter ~1872 and could be assumed invalid against the Nation when made. The Nation’s 1873 judgment bound Dinter and those claiming through him under later-accruing title — but was never executed; Dinter remained in possession. After the February 19, 1875 act, the Nation gave Dinter a March 12, 1880 renewal; interest later passed to Lavery.

Bradley held the 1873 recovery did not inure to the railway’s benefit or turn its rival 1872 Nation lease into a superior ejectment right. When the Nation won in 1873, neither Dinter nor the railway had a possession right against the Nation; the later federal act and renewal changed the competing claims.
