Syllabus

<p>Easements — Deeds—Forfeitures—Construction. The grant of a “right of way” fourteen feet wide, on condition that it shall he forfeited if the grantee erect any structure of any kind or fence or place any material or obstruction on said right of way other than the construction and repair of walks, is not limited to a walk for footmen; and the same would not be forfeited by the placing thereon of forty or fifty loads of earth for making the same more accessible and convenient for a driveway and which was not an obstruction; since forfeitures are to be strictly construed, and the violation of a condition must be wilful and substantial and not merely technical.</p>
