Miller v. White

Opinion of the Court

Johnston, J.

The grant to Bryan was made by the King, and the surveyor who made the plot was his officer: as it admits of two constructions, that one should be given to it, which is most in favour of the grantee. The line ought therefore to be extended to that of Lane’s patent.

Verdict for the Plaintiff.
