Boyd v. Town of Farm Ridge
Illinois Supreme Court
Appeal from the Appellate Court for' the Second District ;—heard in that court on appeal from the Circuit Court of La Salle county; the Hon. George W. Stipp, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Mulkey
This is a prosecution against Joseph Boyd, the appellant, for neglecting and refusing to remove a fence built by him upon a public highway, after having been notified to do so by the proper authorities, as required by law. His liability for the original obstruction of the highway is barred by the Statute of Limitations, and it is claimed by his counsel the statutory liability for permitting an obstruction to remain after an order by the commissioners of highways to remove the same, has no application to a case like this, and this is really the only question in the case.
