Supreme Judicial Court of Maine July 1, 1871 (Whittier v. McIntyre)

Tapley, J.

The attempted location of 1814 was void for uncertainty. No width of way was mentioned, and it may as well be assumed'to be two rods wide as four, and vice versa.

The location of 1832 established a way by metes and bounds and by courses and distances. It then became, for the first time, a legally established way, the bounds of which could be made certain by records or monuments.
