New-Windsor Turnpike Co. v. Ellison

FISK, for the plaintiffs, moved for a struck jury in this cause, the grounds of which were set forth in an affidavit. It was an action against the defendant, for removing the fence near the turnpike gate, and making a highway across his land, for the purpose of avoiding- the turnpike, and by that means to defraud and injure the plaintiffs.
