THE RIGHT OF lNdREs5 AND EdREss-An
important decision was rendered in the Superior
Court for Kent County, at its late sitting, in the
case OF Rev. DIR. Ignatus L. Cooperrs Daniel
L. Mcbride, an action for trespass. Hon. Eli
salisbury and Hon. Joseph T.. Comcgys for
plaintiff; Hon. N. b. Smthcrs and Edward
Ridgely, Esq, for defendant
The parties TO the suit reside in Camden, and
have been using n lane or alley in common
The Doctor lives on one side of tho lane and
MIR. Mcbride on the other, ThcDr.'s deed, calls
for the lane, and he refused longer to allow
MIR. Mob the further use of IL. Mr.. Mob. in-
sisted that he had the right and persisted In
using it in ingress and egress TO his stable. The
Dr. enclosed 1t with gate, which he chained
and locked, Mr.. McB. cut the gate down with
an axe, and called witnesses to the transaction
Hence, says the Smyrna Times, the suit for
trespass.
1t was proved in testimony before the court
by prominent witnesses. (Thos. l.. Temple, Il.
II. Courscy and others) that the lane had been
used in common by the occupants Of the repec-
i've properties for over sixty years, as far as the
knowledge of witnesses recollection extended,
without any objection until now.
The counsel for the plaintiff showed by testi
mony that use had been granted by one Fisher,
the original owner of the property, simply rs u
question of privilege TO the owner of the pro
perry OF MIR. Mcbride, and now, DIR. Cooper,
who steps into Fishers shoes, has the right tC
deny that privilege.
The counsel for the defendant argued thai
the privilege granted by Fisher was license
which license died with the party granting it
that after Fishers death the lane was still USE
in common without question, and had so beel
used Tor over forty years; that the occupant G
the property of Mr. Mcbride, having thus used
the lane without let or hindrance for twent
years and over it became a right by Limitation
Mr.. SmitheIs cited rulings 10 sustain til
point and held the court for two-and "a half houl
in most exhaustive argument, after which IL
Chief Justice instructed the jury to render
verdict in favor of Mr.. Mcbride.

OPPOSED TO THE PARK.--John W. ii aw-
kins has written letter in opposition to the
proposed plan and price for procuring city
park. lilo thinks the project smacks very
strongly of the Credit Mobillier arrangement
that $4,000 is an cxorbtant price for about
sixty acres of land. that for practical purposes
is not worth $50 per acre. We agree with him
that the price is excessive, but his estimate is
certainly too low. There are. immense deposits
OF stone OH these grounds that will yield for
yeas TO come fair interest on $500 per acre.
The suggestion of duplication to the Legislature
for commission to condemn the land is very
good one, yet very little perhaps would be saw
ell by that cour Sc, as commissions frequently
m IKE awards out of all proportion to the value
OF the property taken, and If the parties were
influenced by principles of justice thousands of
dollars would be returned to the city treasury.
