Scribner v. Holmes
Indiana Supreme Court
Scribner v. Holmes, 16 Ind. 142 (Ind. 1861)
1861 Ind. LEXIS 52
Scribner v. Holmes
Opinion of the Court
This case was tried on May 16, on which day a motion for a new trial was overruled, exception taken, and leave given to file a bill of exceptions in thirty days. The bill was not filed until July 6. That was too late. A legal public highway, in actual use, is not embraced in a general covenant against incumbrances. It would be unreasonable that it should be. See Rawle on Cov. 141, et seq.
The judgment is affirmed, with 5 per cent, damages and costs.
