Russel Wallace : Alfred Russell Wallace (sic)
Sir,--While thanking you for the insertion of my letter, and for your editorial remarks supporting my general statement of the law, I wish to inform you that you have been completely misinformed as to the encroachment I complain of not being on a road between fences. I made the complaint after personal inspection; and the road runs continuously between hedges for a mile on both sides of the place referred to. I enclose a tracing from the Ordnance Map, on the 6-inch scale, showing part of the road,--the new encroachment being coloured red, while several older encroachments are tinted blue. The road corresponds, as I remarked in the minutest detail, to the description given in the judicial decision, and no allegation has been made by the Highway Board that it does not so correspond. Trusting that you will correct this misinformation in your next issue, I remain, your's faithfully, Alfred R. Wallace. [We have the tracing mentioned in our correspondent's letter, and it is clear that we were under a misconception with regard to the locus in quo.-- Editor of W. S. T.]
