s 95Evidence as to document unmeaning in reference to existing facts

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.
