Ownership of Highways.

Our readers have long known the
ground always taken by us on the ques-
tion-a highly important one to farmers
las to the ownership Of the pubic high
ways. We held that no local authority.
not even Legislature, had the power,
under the constitution, to take away
from the proprietors Of the land over
which common road passes, their fee
simple ownership--that the right Of way
only was vested in the public and that
all Vegetation and fruit growing upon
such land-all minerals found beneath it,
belonged to them, AS to the correctness
of this view. the following report of a
case, growing out of this question, which
was decided quite recently, by the Su-
preme Court of Connecticut, will be read
with interest =
The case arose in this way The Sc
lect men Of Simsbury had, for a certain
sum of money. granted man license
to turn cow into the highway. The
owner Of tract of land bordering on
the road adjoining his premises claimed
the feed growing adjoining his premises
was his property, and not the property
of the town. He brought suit for tres
pass, which went to the Supreme Court,
and was decided in his favor. The court
held that in opening highway, the fee
simple, the absolute ownership of the
soil, was not vested in the public, but
only the right of way. The public had
control of road as far as was necessary
to make a convenient passage but no
farther. If a road were abandoned by
the public, it again became part of the
property from which it was originally
taken, and this was additional proof that
the title to the soil occupied by the high
way was vested in the owners of the land
adjoining The public have nothing
but the right of the way: the grass and
feed on the road were therefore the pri-
vate property of adjoining landowners.
The following are the words Of the
Court:
"The oaoner Of land covered By a
highaoay has the erclusive right to the
heritage growing thereon, and by-laao
Of a toaon giving liberty to the inhabi-
tonts to pasture their coaos an the public
highway under certain regulations, pas
sed u''der the authority Of general stat
ute (Acts 1855, ch. 64) empowering
tOaons to pass such by-laaos, HAS NO VAL
IDIrY :"
We trust that this will settle the case
in all time to come. The decision ap-
plies as fully to Pennsylvania as to Con-
necticut. &c: naantoaon Telegraph.
