The proprietors of one plot disputed the claim, asserting that the original 1926 conveyance of the plot had included ownership of the road fronting the plot to its mid-point. Whether and, if so, to what extent the land was so conveyed. Original conveyance not available. Consideration of limited secondary material. HELD that the estate road was not comprised in the 1926 conveyance. The case turned on its own facts. |
