Witherspoon and wife vs. Blanks.

Opinion:
nER curiam.
The line in controversy when run to the end of the distance called for, will not reach Cypress creek, where by the patent it is said to terminate! but to reach that must run three times the distance called for. The invariable mle in such cases is, to disregard the distance and proceed with the line, in the direction called for, till it. shall intersect the creek or othtu natural bouuckiy.
Verdict and judgment accordingly.
