M>d aot allow grow errors to siht if poaaiklo. The following leOeta will .0 doubt b. of iaterMt to lb. mosiot ov readers. Tha fbot wa give ia substance, tha latter ia ft#Risasaun, Aram. f|*lßßG. < Dbas She—l find to th* aarroy of eeetieu fro, townahip <8 north, range 7 weet, ted principal meridian, lad., that th* earner of section 3 and 0 waa established *0 Hake north of townahip line; said Has being determined by witnessed samara. • * * • Now my inetraotiona are that the lines and corners, as established by the govern meat surveyors must aland as the true lines and corn era.

In the case here given, wbiofa will stand as being the true one? How oan both be correct? To which seotion does these two acres of land belong. Again I have found oases where the section earner* did not reach the township line by 6 or or 8 link*. To whioh seotion doe# this neutral land belong? I find in the survey of same section 5 that thers is a stone placed in for quarter section corner between seotion S and 6, which stone is thirty links east of a right line, between the seotion corners. Should I ran to that atone or place the corner on line.

The oorner of sections 9, 10, 15 and 19 is in a large marsh and ia entirely lost and no witnessed eorners south for two miles and a half, while the quarter corner and section corner north are witnessed, sad are aot on line 1 with th# w Hues sad eorners south. How should I aatablisb the corner of aeotlon 9, 10, lfi and 16? Resp*ctfnlly yours.
