Syllabus

<p>Conflict between the Map and Sübvey of a Town.—An official map of a town plat which, by reference to monuments established, or by some other mode, refers to a survey, is presumed to correctly represent the survey as actually made; but if there is a discrepancy between the map and the survey in the field, the survey must prevail, if the position of the points and lines established by the survey can be proved.</p> <p>Evidence of Bodndaby of a Lot.—If the deed of a lot in a town, for a description of the lot, refers to the official map of the town plat, this reference does not prevent parol evidence from being received to show that the survey in the field from which the map was made conflicts with the map, for the purpose of arriving at the correct boundary of the lot.</p>
