Sentence:  The plaintiff sues to get possession of a piece of <WSD>chur</WSD> land. In the plaint, the case which seems to be made is, that the land is a re-formation upon the site of a former <WSD>chur</WSD> which at one time belonged to those through whom the plaintiff claims, but which was subsequently washed away. ... The first issue fixed by the Moonsiff, as stated in his judgment, is, "whether the <WSD>chur</WSD> in dispute is the contiguous accretion to the re-formed lands of <WSD>Chur</WSD> Bandaparah and was held in possession by the plaintiff, and his co-sharers." 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  An island or shoal in a river.
