Childers vs. Holoway.
    To entitle one to a prescriptive right of way over the land of another, it must be shown that the prescriber has been in the uninterrupted use of a permanent road over the land, not exceeding fifteen feet in width, and that he has kept it open and in repair for seven years. Code, §§721, 737; 61 Ga„ 28.
    (a,) That one has been in the habit of traveling across the land of another by a route more than fifteen feet wide, which was not kept in repair, and was not permanent in its location, will not suffice.
    (b.) It will not alter the case that the average width of the road, considering its entire length, was not over fifteen feet.
    October 3, 1882.
   Crawford, Justice.
