Syllabus
<p>VENDOR AND PURCHASER — SALE BETWEEN FIXED BOUNDARIES — COURSES AND DISTANCES — EVIDENCE.</p> <p>1. If one sells a tract of land from a fixed boundary to another fixed boundary, the purchaser takes all the land between such bounds, although it gives him a greater quantity of land than is called for in his title.</p> <p>222</p> <p>2. In a controversy over surveys and boundary lines, courses and distances yield to natural and ascertained objects.</p> <p>3. Where one claims that a water course, named in 1851 in a title deed as a boundary line, was a different stream than the water course now shown to be existent in the same locality, and near the land in dispute, and that the former stream has disappeared, it is incumbent on him to make this contention certain by proof administered.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
