- Desckipiion nr Deed.—If a grantor in his deed describes the land conveyed as “bounded on the north by the land of Joseph G. Palmer,” it is a sufficient identification of the northern boundary line, even if Palmer did not own the land on the north, provided the grantor had always recognized the land on the north as the land he had sold to Palmer, for the reason that Palmer had been the agent who had purchased it for one Field.
