that ii it is town way it was made so
by dedication, and that 1t is not now aud

boundaries are now row OF maple trees
on each side just two rods apart.
The town officers claim that tine street
was located away back in the eighteenth
century; and that it's boundaries are not
the present rows of maple trees; that the
plaintiffs buildings projected three feet
or more into the limits of the street; that
they gave her due and reasonable notice
to move them which she refused to do
and so they ordered the defendant Bick
ford to cut off that part that was in the
street and he With other defendant did
