  • Release Date: 1968-01-08
  • Genre: Law

Description

Atlantic Refining Company (hereafter referred to as Atlantic) brought suit to quiet title to its lease and mineral interest in certain real estate. The suit required construction of a conveyance denominated "Mineral Deed" as to whether it conveyed a 1/16 of the minerals in place, or 1/2 of the usual 1/8 royalty. This appeal is from a judgment interpreting the instrument as one conveying a royalty interest, construing the reservation in the grantor, and quieting the title to the various mineral interests based upon these constructions.
