On Motion for Rehearing.
■Appellant in his motion for a rehearing calls attention to the fact that the field notes of section No. 2, as corrected by Ooclse in 1904, conflicts with the Farley survey owned by appellant 184 varas on the north boundary of said Farley survey, and that the field notes of section No. 2 as set out in the judgment excludes from said section the strip of land so in conflict, the same being 184 varas wide and 1,474 varas long; that the south lines of the Cocke surveys Nos. 2, 11, and 12 is a continuous line, and that the field notes of section 12, as set out in the judgment, does not give the appellant the benefit of this conflict. As we see it, the error was in allowing the appellant the benefit of the conflict with section No. 2, of which, however, the appellees do not complain. The railroad surveys, as originally made, embraced all of the lands included within their field notes, beginning at the northeast corner of Hidalgo county, and, except in so far as they conflicted with older surveys, appropriated said land. As thus surveyed, sections 2, 3, 11, 14, 12, and 13 included all of the land in the Hervey survey 496, and a part of the Farley survey on the west of and adjoining the Her-vey. When these sections were resurveyed by Cocke, they still covered said surveys, the only difference being that the Cocke survey, by moving these sections 184 varas south of their original location, placed that much more of the Hervey and Farley surveys in sections 2, 11, and 12, instead of in sections 3, 14, and 13.
We have carefully examined appellant’s motion for a rehearing, and have reached the conclusion that the same should be overruled.
Overruled.
