DAVIDSON'S LESSEE v. SHELTON

A surveyor cannot be permitted to contradict the record of his survey. [Acc. Hoggat v. M'Crory, 1 Term. 9; Sevier v. Hill, 2 Term. 23; Smith v. Buchannon, 2 Term. 305.]

The surveyor of the plaintiff's land was produced to prove that he had never been on the land, or made any marks for the corners, sed per curiam. CAMPBELL and OVERTON, JJ.; WHITE, J., absent. The surveyor cannot be called to invalidate his own act, his plat being of record must be conclusive on him as surveyor in this instance.
