## Opinion text

Boabdman, J.:
I concur, believing that the assertion of a particular construction and effect of a written instrument, of an obscure or doubtful character, is equally good as an estoppel, if believed, relied upon and acted upon, as is a disclaimer of title, to the person about to purchase.
