Syllabus

<p>1. Uncertainty in description in a deed.—Where the uncertainty of description in a deed does not appear from the face of the deed, but arises from extraneous facts, parol evidence is admissible to remove or explain it.</p> <p>2. Same—Practice.—In such cases the deed should be admitted, together with the parol evidence; the identity of the land is then a mixed question of law and fact.</p> <p>3. Same.—See a description, though vague and uncertain, held admissible, with other evidence to identify the land intended to be conveyed.</p> <p>4. Calls in a description op land.—See a discussion of contradictory calls, with reference to ascertaining the meaning of the conveyance.</p>
