Bordeaux v. . Williamson ( 1804 )

Ways are of two kinds: those which are established by public authority, and private ones, which are by grant or prescription. Proof, as here, that it has been used as a way for the neighborhood for near forty years, when the commencement of the usage is known, will not suffice for the establishment of it, as contended for by defendant.

Verdict for plaintiff.

NOTE. — See Woolard v. McCullough, 23 N.C. 432.
