Parr v. Worley

Parr (plaintiff) conveyed land to Worley (defendant) by deed describing it as "lying to the East of" an existing highway and stating an area of "25 acres, more or less"; Parr later granted mineral rights to a third party describing land "lying west of the east right of way line" of the highway, and then sued to quiet title to the mineral rights under the full highway width, while Worley counterclaimed for title to the land under the highway's east half. The trial court granted Parr summary judgment, and Worley appealed.
