road case was begun before Judge J. NJ.
Love In the Alexandria County Court this
morning Tho defence is now trying TO
prove that the road known as Military
road Is simply a substitute for an old tho
roughfare known as the Aubrey road and
thar the point on the ground that road
only thirty feet wide and this road q near
eighty feet wide. The Supreme Court FOR
this state has decided that the mere
occupation of a highway as country

doesn't confer the right Of ownership. The
Supreme Court has decided that there has
10 be a specific deed on the part OF the
property owners and an acceptance on the
part OF the Commonwealth before the
road becomes public property. There -
no such record in the Military road. There
has boen little progress made so far in the
trial and. In all probability, 1t will be In
progress all this week.
