Felch v. Inhabitants of West Brookfield

Opinion of the Court

Barker, J.

It being plain that the plank bridge off one end of which the plaintiff’s wheel fell, causing the injury, was not a part of the travelled path but outside of it, and constructed solely *310for the purpose of facilitating access between the travelled path and a private way which opened into the highway on one side, and from which the plaintiff was driving, the case is governed by that of Kellogg v. Northampton, 4 Gray, 65, 69. See also Howard v. North Bridgewater, 16 Pick. 189; Shepardson v. Colerain, 13 Met. 55; Smith v. Wendell, 7 Cush. 498 ; Harwood v. Oakham, 152 Mass. 421; Carey v. Hubbardston, 172 Mass. 106 ; Kelley v. Boston, 180 Mass. 233.
