Chapter 39 Conveyances.
Article 1 - Construction and Sufficiency.
39-2. Vagueness of description not to invalidate.
39‑2. Vagueness of description not to invalidate.
No deed or other writing purporting to convey land or an interest in land shall be declared void for vagueness in the description of the thing intended to be granted by reason of the use of the word "adjoining" instead of the words "bounded by," or for the reason that the boundaries given do not go entirely around the land described: Provided, it can be made to appear to the satisfaction of the jury that the grantor owned at the time of the execution of such deed or paper‑writing no other land which at all corresponded to the description contained in such deed or paper‑writing. (1891, c. 465, s. 2; Rev., s. 948; C.S., s. 992.)
