IL The Legal Journa l, published at Pitts
burg, contains decision of the Nisi Prius, of
Philadelphia, on a motion for a special injunc-
ton against the Second and Third street railroad
argued June Goth. This decision lays down the
governing principle with respect to the public
right to the use of highways, which has been a
subject Of discussion recently. The public high
ways belong to the people, and through the Ley
islature the people may devote them to sucn uses
as the public convenience requires. Their
thority is supreme, and they do not have to ask
any ones consent to such use as the public may
desire The highways to be appropriated. To
build a railroad without authority of law, would
be nuisance, which Court of Equity could
prevent, but when the Legislature gives lis sane
ton, it is longer nuisance, and no equity can
interfere
