The description of the calls at "Woodville House" and "Strawberry Valley" are not such as would have been adopted from choice if there had

been sufficient data from which to have made them
otherwise. The Legislature, in breaking into the line

commenced at an undeterminate point on the line, and
in both instances ran in opposite directions from the
original survey. The two Acts have been made to
harmonize as well as possible with the original survey.
