Excerpt from The American State Reports, 1898, Vol. 58: Containing the Cases of General Value and Authority Subsequent to Those Contained in the "American Decisions" And the "American Reports," Decided in the Courts of Last Resort of the Several States It must be held that the true boundary line between these two pieces of land is by a line, drawn north and south, dividing the lands into equal acreage. Counsel for respondents strenuously insist that the question involved, being one of boundary, is to be determined by asoer taining the intention of the parties to certain conveyances made prior to the execution of the contract between the parties to this action, and further contend that the prior conveyances and the understanding of the parties thereto as ascertained from their testimony upon the trial, are sufficient to show that there were twenty acres in the tract known as the west half. We think that no proper case was presented calling for the introduction of parol evidence as to the intention of the parties. N o ambiguity is apparent upon the face of the deed.
