111*(411T OF WAY.
THIE ICING V. THE INHABITANTS OF saamocroscir.
The Counsel forlhe Plaintiff stated, tnet this was ,
an indictment to compel the Parish of Birmondsey to I
repair a road leading from. Bermondsey to Deptford,
and that the road in question was a part leadinn, from
Blue Anchor-lane, to a place- Called GalleylVall,
and that the Parish was 'calked Upon to repair it, on
the ground that it was a common highway • and the
first question the Jury had to try was, whether it was
a.commou highway ; knd secondly, whether they had
la right to repair it, and that the road for the space of
seven years had been. public for his Majesty's sub-
s jests going. from Bermondsey to Deptford ; and as
the public right to pass and repass, could not he dis-
puted, the Parish was bOund to keep it in repair:
Sereval of the most respectable inhabitants of Ber-
mondsey were called upon to prove that the road had
I been open for more than• seven years. The Counsel
for the Defendants contended, that the public had
I not the right of way, and, in fact, the road was
private property belonging to Mr. Randall. The
Jury, after some deliberitiou, gave their Verdict that
the Defeudaats were not guilty, consequently the
Parishioners are not liable to repair The road.
