Judge Hunt gave judgment yesterday
in favor of the defendant in the suit
instituted by Henry E. Bothin to re-
cover damages from the California
Title Insurance and Trust Company.
growing out of an error in the survey
of city slip lots II and 72, which were
purchased by. the plaintiff from the

The title insurance company proved
that in his policy insuring the title
to Bothin IT expressly provided that it
would not be responsible for errors in
surveys, guaranteeing alone that the
property the title of which it insured
vested on the records in the Sharon
estate. The survey was made years
ago. and after purchasing the property
Bothin discovered that he had lost a
slice OF land on one side through adj
verse possession, though he gained
slice on the opposite side.
In any event, he sued the title in
surance company for damages. but as ii
was not responsible for errors in sur
