New York Court of Appeals November 15, 1847 (Wood v. Weiant)

Jewett, Ch. J.

The rule that courses and distances yield to natural and ascertained objects is well settled, and I do not know.that it is disputed here. If there had been a known ground line between the Wolf and Kempe Tracts, that would have controlled the distance or chaining along the Dunderburgh Turnpike road called for by the defendants’ deed.
