Syllabus

<p>1. Survey—Conflicting Galls.—In determining the position of a comer which is called for as being located a given course and distance from a bearing tree, and which has no other proximate natural or artificial object to fix its exact location, that call is entitled to no greater dignity than a call for course and distance from another corner of the same survey which is fixed and identified by a natural object called for and found; for in each instance the corner sought can only be found by measurement from the known object. When in such a case it is found that such calls are conflicting, and can not both be harmonized, then effect should be given to the one which is inost in harmony with the other calls of the grant, and with the lines of contiguous surveys called for.</p>
