Section 95

When language used in a document is plain in itself, but is unmeaning in reference to existing facts, evidence may be given to show that it was used in a peculiar sense.

Illustrations

A conveys to B by deed “my plantation in Seria”.

A had no plantation in Seria, but it appears that he had a plantation in Kuala Belait, of which B had been in possession since the execution of the deed.

These facts may be proved to show that the deed related to the plantation in

Kuala Belait.

Evidence as to application of language which can apply to one only of several persons.
