This is an action of ejectment for a smal, lot of ground on the Bellefontaine road lying within United States survey 728. The case depends upon the construction of two documents, the one purporting to be a cession or relinquishment of all title in the claim of Jacques Clamorgan on the Gingras by Pierre Chouteau and wife, acknowledged and recorded November 8th, 1810, and the other a deed dated June 26th, 1810, whereby Clamor

The sheriff’s deed to Chouteau, dated July 10th, 1809, conveyed to Chouteau “ all the right, title, interest and property which said Jacques Clamorgan had or possessed in and to a certain tract or parcel of land,'lying or being on the river Gingras in the same district and bounded by lands of Joseph Hebert, Hyacinthe St. Cyr and Vincent.”
The intent of the parties to these conveyances is obvious. Chouteau agreed with Clamorgan that 400 arpens of the land conveyed to him by the sheriff would satisfy
