The New York Court Of Appeals has given

an established inference Of the Common Law
that the proprietors Of land adjoining pub
Lie highway arc owners Of the fee Of said high
way, aud that the rights Of the public therein
and thereto arc no higher or other than those
Of mere easement, and that the proprietors
on each side Of highway presumptiye1y own

time been doubted whether this docrine ap,
plies to the streets of cities, but this doubt Il
now removed by the decision Of this Court, In

him; but, getting wind Of the matter, he
