occurs that the property is said to contain a certain number of acres,
by estimation, or so many acres, more or less. When these expressions
are used, if the land fall short by a small quantity, the purchaser will
receive no relief. In one case of this kind, the land fell short
two-fifths, and the purchaser received no relief. 2 Freem. 106. Vide 1
