THE KI%G THF I...HABITANTS OF THI PARISH

ST. SOUTHWARK.

The cafe was opmed by Mr. MAR RlnTr, a% an in.
diarner: for a %et y ferion% offence : Roo yards of the
foot path, c.n the North Eatl lisle of the road leading
from I,.cm-flrect to the Gteen Man To-npikeatein3
in fo d.tngetous a (late as to be generally
to the gre..t antioance of the footpath paffengers, it
being the general tirait footpath from Deptford to
London. _ . .

Mr. Searles, furveyor, proved the foot-path to be
in the moll dangerous Rate, particularly for the two
IA years. He lives now on the fpot, and has known
the place from a child. The parifh of St. George,
by their Roadfmca, always kept it in repair until the
hall rim years, when they Coffered it to go altogether
to decay, and become an intolerable nuifance.
Mr. Sirett, a refident there for the lalt twenty-four
Tears, depofed to the Came effee, with the addition,
that he has feen the Trußees of the Roadfmen fre.

table (1. e. °opine the high road down, Co as to carry
off the water) throw the fcrapings of the road on
the foot path, to raife it higher.
In this Rage of the cafe a queftion of lawwas railed
and argued by the Counfel on both fides with much
abilicl. 4, whether this was fuch a loot path, it being
appertaining to the turnpike road, as the parilh of St.
George was bound to repair e
Mr. MARItOTT and Mr. NOLAN, for the profecu•
tion, contended it was, and cited feveral cafes in fop-
port of their argument.
Mr. WITINHALL and MT. LAWISp Counfel for the
para, as ftrenuottfly contended that the parifh was
not at all bound to repair it ; that the perfons who
were bound were the Trittlees of the Roads, who le-
vied a toll on the is/Angers' carriages, hones, &c.
that palled along it ; nil only this, but that a part
of the commutation for the Ratute labour' railed
within the parilh was paid over to the Truflees of the
Road., to keep that part of the foot way next their
toad in repair.
The Bench, on confultation, delivered their opinion,
that the parifh was liable to repair this foot way.
The evellion fubmitted by the Chairman, Mr.
EVANCI, to the Jury, was divided into two heads,
on the two counts of the indu!lment. The fiat count
laid the nuifance to be committed by not repairing
the highway for horfe and foot paffengers. The fa-
eond count laid it to be a foot-way only. The
Chairman clearly pointed out the bearings on each of
the counts, and left it to the jury to determine by
verdift.—The Jury, after a few minutes confultation,
returned a verdie, the whole it one highway. The
Court defired them to reconfider their verdict, as that
did not me-t the cafe. They then turned round
again, and found 4, that the Comminioners ought
to repair." This was Rated to them as an incompe.
tent verdie, the Bench having already determined
that the Parfih ought to repair. Three times more did
the Jury confult, and their final verdia was “ the
Pala of St. George not 'silty."
