Erickson v. Ames

This is a petition to register title in fee simple, subject to rights of way, to a strip of land between Washington Street and Harrison Avenue in Boston, over which lies a private way known as Chickering Place.

The petitioners own the land and building at the southeasterly corner of Chickering Place and Washington Street. The respondents, the Ames Trustees, own the land and buildings on the north side of Chickering Place throughout its length. Other respondents own land abutting on Chickering Place.

The chief question is whether the petitioners own the fee of the entire Chickering Place.
