Syllabus

<p>Deeds — Construction—Alleyway,</p> <p>A deed of a lot of land describing tbe same as extending between parallel lines at right angles with a certain street, “to and including on the rear end thereof the soil of a certain two feet six inches wide alley,” is to be construed as conveying to the grantee title to the land to the boundary of the alley, with the use of the alley in common with other owners of lots abutting thereon. Where the words of a grant have a doubtful meaning, they should be construed most strongly against the grantor.</p>
