Commissioners of Greene County v. Holliday's Executors

3 N.C. 384

Opinion

1lull, Judge.

Whether the passage referred to, be correct or rot, I conceive the evidence offered cannot be received; for Holliday bad not any I-.iorle.N-.- oí the contract between the commissioners attd Sheppard, except what he derived from the inspection of the order. If the evidence be good to explain what the parties meant, as between themselves, it cannot be so sw to third persons, who have governed tnemselves by the words weed in the writing.
