Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion — Terry

The opinion of the Court was delivered Mr. Justice Terry.

Mr. Chief Justice Murray concurred.

The plaintiff having shown that his lost grant had been recorded, it *489was error to admit parol evidence of its contents, unless the failure to produce the record was accounted for.

Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
