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 — Baldwin
Baldwin, J. delivered the opinion of the Court Cope, J. concurring.
This case involves the construction of a deed, which, after usual words of grant, describes the premises sold as all that portion of the Union ranch lying south of two oak trees, marked E. X. C. On reconsideration, we think the two trees mentioned were designed to mark a line of boundary, the portion of which tract south of the line being that conveyed. This construction gives effect to the language of the deed.
The Court gave a different construction to the deed, and for this error the judgment is reversed and cause remanded.
