Syllabus

<p>Leases — Oil and gas lease — Royalties—Construction—Intention.</p> <p>Where an oil and gas lease provided “such well or wells shall be gauged, in the casing in which completed, every six months,” and stipulated a rental based upon the pressure of gas in the well, it was for the jury to determine, in an action for rental, whether the well was completed in the three-inch casing as contended by plaintiff or in a six and five-eighths inch casing as contended by defendant; the evidence being in conflict, a judgment on a verdict for plaintiff, based upon a special finding of the jury that the well was completed in the three-inch casing, was sustained.</p>
