HALL V. SCOTT OOUNTT. 343 �Louisiana was decided ought to cover the case. But the dis- tinction between the two cases is clear. �It is unnecessary, however, to pursue auch inquiries. Itis patent, from the terms of the deed, that the parties under- stood that no tract of land outside the county was to be con- Veyed, and all swamp and overflowed lands inside, with the express exception named, should pass.
