MORE OR LESS

This phrase, Inserted in a conveyance of land immediately after the statement of the quantity of land conveyed, means that such statement is not to be taken as a warranty of the quantity, but only an approximate estimate, and that the tract or parcel described is to pass, without regard to ah excess or deficiency in the quantity it actually contains. See Brawley v. U. S., 96 U. S. 16, 24 L. Ed. 622; Crislip V. Cain, 19 W. Va. 438; Tyler v. Anderson, 106 Ind. 185, 6 N. E. 600; Jenkins v. Bolgiano, 53 Md. 420; Solinger v. Jewett 25 Ind. 479, 87 Am.
