Devin, J.,
concurring: The evidence as it appears of record is insufficient to show affirmatively a completé abandonment of the Old Dowd Road as a public road, and hence nonsuit of plaintiffs’ action to restrain obstruction thereof was improvidently granted. O. S., 3161; Public Laws 1927, ch. 46, sec. 4; Public Laws 1931, ch. 145, sec. 12; Public Laws 1931, ch. 448; Public Laws 1933, ch. 302. In re Edwards, 206 N. C., 549.
Whether the obstructions placed in the road by defendant interfere with the reasonable exercise of plaintiffs’ right of ingress and egress, under the circumstances of this case, as shown by plaintiffs’ evidence, was a matter for the consideration of the jury under proper instructions from the court.
