Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. The sale of “a plantation” consisting of certain tracts of land and “a portion” containing so many acres out of a tract of greater extent, purports to be a deed translative of the property to a definite body of land having a physical identity of its own, and entitles the purchaser to have the limits of said lands fixed.</p> <p>2. The Civil Law has never favored the doctrine “caveat emptor” and its consequences, but declares that any ambiguity in the sale shall be construed “against the vendor.”</p>
