How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• ancient maps alone did not show that the road was public, for the maps were “equally consistent with the ways having been private over the one hundred and twenty-one years of their proven existence”
• a way becomes public in character through either laying out by a public authority, prescription, or, prior to 1846, by dedication to public use by the owner coupled with acceptance by the public
