Indian Evidence Act, 1872

Illustrations
A sells to B, by deed,
"my house in Calcutta"
A had no house in
Calcutta, but it appears that he had a house at Howrah, of which B had been in
possession since the execution of the deed.
These facts may be
proved to show that the deed related to the house at Howrah.
