People v. Pope
People v. Pope
Opinion of the Court
That East Street was duly dedicated as a public street can admit of no serious doubt, on the facts established at the trial, and it is not denied that at the time of the commencement of the action the defendants were, and for a long time prior thereto had been, using a portion of the street as a lumber yard, obstructing the same with piles of lumber, and preventing the use of it by the public as a highway.
Judgment and order affirmed, and it is further ordered that the judgment herein be entered as of the day on which the cause was submitted.
Mr. Justice McKinstry did not express any opinion.
