Millbury, June 30,-A curious wrangle
mas arisen between William E. Horne
and Mrs. John Hinchliffe of Braman-
vile ever right of way to Mr.. Hornes
greenhouses.
The place that Mrs. Hinchliffe lives
on was formerly owned by John SUIT
cliffe,~sand he at the time of the sale
allowed Mr.. Horne to cross his land
with his teams gratis. Horne con-
tinued to cross the land now owned by
Mrs. Hinchliffe, giving her barrel of
flour a year more as gift than price
for using the right of way.
short time ago Mrs. Hinchliffe told
Horne that if he wanted the right Of
way he must pay a barrel and a half of
flour. Horne refused, and Mrs. Hinch-
life at once had a fence erected across
the passage and kept it up 4S hours to
show that the road was not a public
way. A short time ago a more sub
stantial fence was erected, and Mr..
Horne was notified that if he wished to
use the passage he must pay for it. This
he refused to do, and the case still
hangs fire
