Syllabus

<p>Dedication—of street, by plat. Where a party in subdividing his lots adjoining aprior subdivision by another, of the remaining part of the block, upon the plat of which prior subdivision is indicated a street next to such party’s lots, having the appearance of being taken off the ground first platted, makes also a plat showing lots which hy their dimensions embrace all of his ground, and a street the same as in the first subdivision, he will not be held to have dedicated any part of his land for any part of such street. Such person will have the right to presume that the intervening street was taken out of that part of the block first subdivided and platted, and that no part of it encroached upon his lots.</p>
