1893
Norfolk & W. R.R. Co. v. Rasnake
Supreme Court of Virginia
90 Va. 170, 17 S.E. 879
Rasnake brought a civil action against Railroad which sought damages for injury to a road which Rasnake alleged was his. In a prior court action, the court established the road as a public road, which was in effect from its entry. Rasnake had no ownership interest in the road. Therefore, Supreme Court reversed the trial court and the matter was dismissed.
