Sams op Land Bounded on a Street.—A deed which describes the land conveyed as bounded by, upon, or along a street, conveys the land to the center of the street.
Appeal from the District Court, Tenth Judicial District, County of Yuba.
The plaintiff owned a lot of land in the city of Marysville, upon which he had erected a wagon-shop, in which he was carrying on business. The title deeds under which he held the lot, described it as bounded by, upon or along Fourth street on the north, and A street on the east. The defendant appropriated the greater part of the bed of the streets in front of the lot, by constructing thereon a high embankment, upon which it laid a railroad.- This action was brought to recover damages. The plaintiff had judgment, and the defendant appealed.
W. C. Belcher, for Appellant.
P. Vanclief and G. N. Swezy, for Respondent.

The deeds from Buchanan to Said & Bodley, conveyed the lands to the center of the street. (Moody v. Palmer, 50 Cal. 31 .)

All other questions have been expressly waived by counsel.

Judgment affirmed.
