(In Mexican law.) A denouncement was a judicial proceeding, and though real property might be acquired by an alien in fraud of the law — that is without observing its requirements — ^he nevertheless retained his right and title to it, liable to be deprived of it by the proper proceeding of denouncement, which in its substantive characteristics was equivalent to the inquest of ofl Bce found, at common law.
