Chewning v. Bryson

Opinion of the Court

Fish, J.

1. Highways may, by agreement and acquiescence for seven years by acts or declarations, become established dividing lines between coterminous landowners, although never run and marked for that purpose.

2. The judgment of the trial judge, who by consent decided all issues in this case without a jury, is supported by the great preponderance of the evidence. Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
