Syllabus

<p>Road law — Dedication of street — Width dedicated — Reservation to owner.</p> <p>The dedication of a piece of property, and its acceptance by public user for the purposes of a street, does not necessarily carry with it the dedication of the entire lot on which the street was laid, where the evidence failed to show the intention on the part of the donor to devote more than twenty-five feet for street purposes, which would leave a certain part of the property remaining in the owner.</p> <p>Under such circumstances, a preliminary injunction to restrain the owner from erecting a fence and billboard on the land not dedicated to the public use, will be dissolved.</p> <p>Equity — Courts—Findings of fact and conclusions of law— Form.</p> <p>Under Rule No. 62 of Equity Rules no fixed form is required of the chancellor in presenting his findings of fact and conclusions of law. Where the opinion on which the decree is based is sufficiently definite and specific, the mere omission to number or paragraph the various component parts does not constitute reversible error.</p>
