Fauntleroy's Heirs v. Dunn

Chief Justice Ewing delivered the opinion of the Court. The terms of the deeds of 1831 are so expressed as to be susceptible of being construed as a bargain and sale, release or confirmation, and should be construed in that way which will render them operative, in the effectuation of the object for which they were made, and being so construed, the title is complete in the defendant below. Judgment affirmed, with costs.
