Climson v. Poole
Climson v. Poole
1 N.C. 47
Opinion of the Court
It has been pleaded that he shut the doors continually; otherwise it would be as my brother Jones has said. If I am obliged to let I. S. have a way over my land and I lock my gates; the condition is broken; for I cannot compel him to go over the fences or send to me for the keys. It seems to me there is a difference between the case of a field and that of a house; as a house is the owner’s castle and ought to be kept with more caution than a field, as appears by 5 Rep.
Sed the parties agreed, post. p. 146. Bendl. 172.
