Smith v. Ramsey
Supreme Court of Virginia
Error to a judgment of the Circuit Court of Caroline county in an action of trover. Judgment for the Defendant assigns error.
1Opinion of the Court
Buchanan, J.,
(after making the foregoing statement) delivered the opinion of the court.
The controversy in this case grows out of the agreement attached to the agreed statement of facts. By that instrument the defendants sold to the plaintiff all the growing timber (except pine and cedar) on a designated parcel of land, and gave him two years from that date in which “to cut and remove said timber,” and a right of way, describing its course, from that land to a public highway. The controversy here depends upon the meaning of the words “to cut and remove” as used in the agreement.
