83. It shall not be necessary in the execution of any warrant
of re-survey to locate by actual survey the whole of any tract
or parcel of land; but it shall be sufficient to locate by actual
survey the beginning or any call or other object by which the
location of the tract may be proved and such portion of the
lines connected therewith as may be necessary to show the parts
of the land in controversy and the questions to be tried and
proved by witnesses to be examined in the cause; and all other
lines and objects may be located by protraction on the plats by
the party making the survey; and such locations by protraction
when made by either party shall be conclusive evidence of the
correctness of any object or line so located, unless the same
shall be differently located by the other party either by actual
survey or by protraction; and in case it is so differently located,
the jury shall judge between said locations; and all locations
by protraction shall be made by course and distance according
to the description of the lands so located, to be shown and
proved by some patent, deed, or other paper to be given in evi-
dence and shall be connected by the course and distance of some
title paper or other competent evidence, with lines and objects
located by actual survey; but in making locations by protraction,
the surveyor may correct by protraction to calls for corners or
objects already located on the plats, either by actual survey or
by protraction, and the surveyor shall hereafter return only
three copies of the plats and certificates of survey; and it shall
not be necessary in said certificates to incorporate any tables of
courses and distances, but said certificates shall contain only a
brief explanation of the plats and of the tracts of land and
objects shown on the same, describing by a letter or device the
point on the plat where each tract begins, and describing by
color, number, etc., the lines on the plat which represent the.
boundaries of each tract or parcel of land and describing by letter
or device the manner and place where and in which all other
objects are represented on said plats; and it shall not be neces-
sary to describe the location of any tract or object more than
once in each of said certificates, although a greater number of
title papers may be offered in evidence containing its lines; but
each party shall file with the surveyor, to be returned along with
