SUPREME COURT.
FINDINGS OF THE COMMISSION
OF APPEALS ADOPTED.
The Southern Pacific Company is Not the
Southern Pacific Railway Company.
Some Important Decisions.
Special to the Gazette.

GALVESTON, TEX, March 15.-The fol-
lowing cases were disposed OF upon report
of the commission Of appeals:
John Tolkin vs.. L. G. Anderson; appeal
from Harris county Anderson and Tolkin
entered into contract by which Tolkin
was to sell TO Anderson land worth 5000,
ana that Anderson gave to one Lockhart as
stakeholder $1,000 until the conSummatlon OF
the sale and until he could have the title in
vestisated. Anderson sues for the $1,000
and cancellation of the contract, alleging
that the title is bad. 1t IS charged that the
field notes do not identify the land. The
ambiguity in the field notes in question
arises only where the description is at
tempted to be applied TO the land upon the
ground. The ambiguity is latent and parol
testimony may be invoked in its support.
The lines can be run by respecting the calls
for course only as may be done under well
settled rules of construction. As Texas,
39S. That construction shall be preferred
which gives effect to contracts, rather than
that which renders them imperative where
there is nothing else to turn the scale. One
tenant in common cannot convey specific
portion of the common land to the detr1-
ment or prejudicing of his co-defendant, but
not subject TO this limitation, such con-
veyance will be held in equity when the
circumstances render this course equitable.
Such deed is not void, but voidable.
While it is not probable that the co-tenauts
of the land in question will question the
conveyance TO the vendor Tolkin, yet it
might occur in the future. Appellee will
not be compelled to accept such a title.
Affirmed. Opinion by Mari, j. E. P.
Hamblen for appellant; Burns, Burns q
Burns for appellee.
