For the said Commissioners upon view of the premises and by the oath of Edward

Stephens and Matthew Jessup, and satisfactory information otherwise received, do adjudge that the above named road has been used as a public highway for twenty years or more preceding the twenty-first day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, and that agreeable to the 22d section of the Act entitled an Act to regulate high- ways in the Counties of Suffolk. Kings and Queens, the said road should be taken and deemed as a public road. We. the said Commissioners, do therefore order and hereby di - rect the Overseer of the 2d Road District in said town, to remove or cause to be removed all the obstructions that the said Nelson Swezy has created in said road, to the width of three rods, that is to say one rod and a half from the center of the common path, having reference to the stakes put up for your guide, so that the said road may be safe and convenient to be traveled by night and by day.
Given under our hands this 20th day of October, in the year 1829.

PAGE 75. Whereas, a petition dated the 29th day of September, 1829, from sundry inhabitants of Southampton, in the County of Suffolk and State of New-York, was pre- sented to Cephas Foster. David R. Rose and Cephas Jag- ger, Commissioners of Highways for the town of South- ampton, stating that a certain public road in the said parish of Southampton, described by the said Commissioners as a road uniting with and leading from the main country road

RECORDS : TOWN OF SOUTHAMPTON.
at Aspattuck brook by the north of Ketchebonnuck and Potunk, and leading round by great and little Onuck into the highway, and uniting again with the main country road at Beaverdam, had been obstructed and shut up by a private individual by the name of Nelson Sweezy, and praying that the said road might be opened.
And whereas the said Commissioners did thereupon, on the 20th day of October, in the year aforesaid, meet to de- termine whether the said road was a public highway and whether the same ought to be opened, and did then decide and adjudge that the said road was a public highway by its having been used as such for twenty years or more pre- ceeding the 21st of March, 1797, and did thereupon order the said road to be opened agreeable to the petition afore- said. And whereas the said Nelson Sweezy did on the 23d day of October aforesaid, appeal from the decision of the said Commissioners to three of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the said County of Suffolk. Now to all to whom it may concern, know ye that we the under- signed, three of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, in the County of Suffolk aforesaid, after hearing the proofs and allegations of the parties, do adjudge that the said road is a public highway from its having been used as such for twenty years or more previous to the 21st of March, 1797, and do therefore affirm the doings of the aforesaid Com- missioners.
