Syllabus

<p>Deed’s — Description—Sufficiency—Latent Defects — Extrinsic Evidence. Wiiere an addition contained twelve blocks numbered from 1 to 12 consecutively, eacb consisting of sixteen lots numbered from 1 to 16 consecutively, a deed of lots 7 and 8 in said addition is not void for uncertainty, as between grantor and grantee, where the grantors owned no lots 7 and 8 in said addition except in block 5, since the defect is latent and is explainable by extrinsic evidence.</p> <p>Vendor and Purchaser — Bona Fide Purchaser — Record—Notice. The record of a deed of lots 7 and 8 in an addition without specifying the block is sufficient to put a subsequent purchaser on notice, where the grantors only owned lots 7 and 8 in block 5 of the addition, and where an inquiry of the grantor or grantees would have disclosed that the grantees were claiming the lots under such deed.</p>
