Supreme Court of Connecticut June 15, 1818 (Ely v. Parsons)

Swift, Ch. J»

I am of opinion, that the order of the county court establishing the liberties of the prison in Mid-dletown, is to be construed to extend to the practical line of the street, as it was used and travelled at the time of making the order, and so as to comprehend the whole of the street or highway between the houses, within the limits mentioned. Such was manifestly their intent.
