YORK COU NTY.

Report of the railroad commissioners of
the State of Maine Oh petition of the
seleotment of Old Orchard, York county,
Maine, crossing at Temple avenue, so
called, in said town of Old Orchard over
the tracks of the Boston ana Maine Rail-
road company.
Rescript by Savage J.-If a highway
is located along and over prescriptjve
way, the public easement in the prescrip-
tive way becomes merged in the public
easement in the highway. The prescrip-
tive wayssis extinguished by the location
of the highway; gand If the highway is
afterwards discontinued, the easement of
the public in the prescriptive way is not
thereby revived or restored. And this is
true, although the town within which the
highway was located never took possession
of the land to build or repair the way and
failed for six years to open the highway.
The presiding justice ruled as matter of
law that 'the public has lost its right of
crossing the track of the Boston and
Maine Railroad company at the place
where Old Salt road, SO called, formerly
was, and where the highway was laid out
by the county commissioners, and discon-
tinued in 1884," 1t appeared that the
Old Salt road was "a public way estab-
lished by adverse use for over twenty
years." 1t also appeared that the high
way which was located and afterwards
discontinued, was laid out substantially
along and over the Old Salt road.
Held that the ruling was correct. Ex-
ceptionS overruled.
