When au expression has been used in an instrument of writing which may be understood in more than one sense ,
it is said there is an ambiguity ,
2 .
There are two sorts of ambiguities of words ,
ambiguitas latens and ambiguitas patens .
3 .
The first occurs when the deed or instrument is sufficiently certain and free from ambiguity ,
but the ambiguity is produced by something extrinsic ,
or some collateral matter out of the instrument ;
for example ,
if a man devise property to his cousin A B ,
and he has two cousins of that name ,
in such case parol evidence will be received to explain the ambiguity .
4 .
The second or patent ambiguity occurs when a clause in a deed ,
will ,
or other instrument ,
is so defectively expressed ,
that a court of law ,
which has to put a construction on the instrument ,
is unable to collect the intention of the party .
In such case ,
evidence of the declaration of the party cannot be submitted to explain his intention ,
and the clause will be void for its uncertainty .
In Pennsylvania ,
this rule is somewhat qualified .
