Syllabus

<p>Ejectment — Sufficiency of description to sustain verdict.</p> <p>In ejectment the verdict must be certain as to the premises recovered, or at least capable of being rendered certain, by a reference to something of a permanent and public nature by which the title may be ascertained.</p> <p>In the case at bar the following description was held not to be so manifestly indefinite as to justify the court in reversing the judgment for that reason: “ A tract of land in Rostraver Township in the said county, containing two acres or thereabouts; bounded by lands of D. Castner, Miller & Reeves, and the Monongahela river.”</p>
