Syllabus

<p>Boundaries — Description in Deed — Plats—Shortage in Block. The grantees in a deed conveying land in a block by metes and bounds, which description would be coincident with the south half of lot number eleven, in case all the lots were 60 feet in width as stated on the plat, are not entitled to have their title quieted as against owners of the adjoining lot number ten, upon the mere claim that there was a shortage in the length of the block which, if evenly distributed among all the lots, would make the metes and bounds description cover part of lot ten, where there was no definite proof as to the location of the shortage or as to the lots affected thereby.</p> <p>Quieting Title — Decree. In an action t.o quiet title, the plaintiffs are not entitled to any decree where they fail to show any actual conflict between their claims and those of the defendants.</p>
