Bean v. Selectmen of Scituate
Bean v. Selectmen of Scituate
Opinion of the Court
The trial judge found that the allegations in the first, second, third, fourth and sixth paragraphs of the bill as amended were true. It thus appears that the plaintiff, who owns a parcel of land in the town of Scituate, with the buildings thereon, bounded on the north by Marshfield Avenue, to the center of which he owns the fee, and on the east by Humarock Beach, has been annoyed in common with other summer residents by a large number of persons obtaining access to the beach by using the way, and'trespassing upon his land, and whose conduct while on the shore creates a nuisance. The avenue was laid out by the county commissioners in July, 1890, and extended in a general direction “to the sea.” The plaintiff built a fence across the avenue excluding travellers from passing in an easterly direction within the limits of the way for a distance of about eighty feet, and it is alleged in the sixth paragraph of the bill that the defendants entered upon the plaintiff’s land without
Ordered accordingly.
