Crow sued Reed to recover a fraction of a section of land, where there was a conflict of title by the lapping over of surveys, in the surveyed district of Peters’ colony. Appellant selected his land upon two sections, Ho. 11, and Ho. 14, which lies immediately south of it. He alleged in his petition that .both sections were vacant and unappropriated at the time of his settlement.
