CIVIL SIDE.

Tag KING v. COX.

~'~

This was an inuiditient- preferred by the Com-
missioners ot the Road, for a nuisance, in erecting
a build:llg in Rhatriars-road, which encroached,
upo, the road, ani was forbidden by 'the ,Aet for
maklif. the road: The bliilditig in question is its
front of Christ Church-yard, and is occupied for the
sate of Irish linen. It appeared that there hai
ginally teenan inclositre, behind which Was a
shed, upon thr site ofwhich the defendant had
erected building complained ot, but the plinth in
front extended six inches more into the road than
the-old fence, and seven inches on one side, and
there, was a portico at one end, on the site of which
no building. had formerly stood.
This indittnient came on in -consequence. of the
Commissioners and the defendants -not being able to
agree fort he purchase of the piece pf groUnd, which
the,foriner were authorised and desi/ons to lay into
the. road.
Mr. Serjeant Bawr, fin the. Crown, contended,
that as the Att of Parliament prohibited any build-
ing from being .erected within ten feet of the road,
that the whole of this was a nuisance,. as it waS
withn that distance, and it was 'of no consequence
that an old ,shed was pret iously there, which time
might have, rendered necessary to pulj downs
Mr. atattow, on thecontrary admitted, that as
to the particulars above enumerated, the defeddant
must be found guilty, and must remove them ; but
that he had an undoubted right to rebuild whatever
be pleased 'upon the Lxtent of grOund whereon a
buildteg bad formerly stood.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH being of the opinion with
Mr. Gat row, the.Jury,under.his:direatiuni found a
verdict accordingly.
