But the word thence is not a term of relation j it does not refer to the boundaries in the former deed. Thence to a corner can mean nothing but a direct line from the former to the latter point. To deviate from the former point immediately and return by another lino to the direct one from that to the latter, and then along the direct line is not warranted by the term thence to the beginning.\nHaywood Judge assented; but the Jury found otherwise.",
