subscribers, Commissioners of the Highways, that the road
from Caleb Loper's to North Sea, and also from the Clay
Pit Water or Piun down to the liarl)or at Jeffery's Creek,
were too narrow, began below Matthew Scott's house and
tind the road from said Scott's land across to Samuel Jen-
nings' corner too narrow, and all the way from said Jell-'
10 EECOEDS: TO'VrN OF SOUTHAMPTON.
nings' coiiior to the soutli-eaHt corner of Williamson's lot
we find tlio road too narrow, and we have directed the own-
ers on each side of the road to throw out their land and to
leave three rods for the road, which they have agreed to
do. Then we proceeded to Joel Reeves' corner and find
the road too narrow almost all the way, until we came to
the house of David Rose, Esq., and we directed the owners
to throw out their lands and make the road three ])oles
wide, which width we have established the road to be from
the Clay Pit water aforesaid, all the way down to the har-
bor at Jeli'ery's Creek. Have also established the road
from North Sea to Sag-Harbor to be and remain three poles
wide, and wherever we have found the road too narroAv any
where between North Sea and Caleb Loper's we have or-
dered the owners of the land adjoining to throw it out and
leave the road three rods Avide. On the eleventh day of
March, liSlo, we, John P. Osborn and William Herrick,
two of the Commissioners as aforesaid, notified John Haines,
Samuel Jagger, Benjamin Haines and Joel Reeves, to throw
out their lands which they had taken out of the road, and
each of them agreed to make the road three rods wide
against their hinds and meadows and to have it finished by
the first day of May next. Thus we have established the

in the County of SulFolk 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 Soutb-

of Southampton, described by the said Couimisgioners as a
road ufliting with ajcid leading froca the aialn eoxmtrj rcaA

at Aspattuck brook by the north of Ketchebounnck and

the highAvay, and uniting again Avith the main country road
at Beaverdam, luul 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 tAventy years or more pro-
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 t^ three of the Judges of the Court of
Common Pleas in and for the said County of Suffolk. Now
to all to whom it m;iy 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 tlie said party of the first part, for himself, his heirs,

Whereas, doubts may arise whether the within written
deed conveys to Samuel Jagger, his heirs and assigns, the
one equal undivided half part of the lands, buildings and
mill stream therein particularly described, the said deed
having been drawn through mistake to Micaiah Herrick
alone, and afterwards the name of Samuel Jagger was in-
terlined and noted and altered by William Herrick, Esq.,
deceased. Now Know all men by these presents, that I,
Micaiah Herrick, do admit that the said Samuel Jagger, his
heirs and assigns, were the rightful owners of one-half the
property in said deed described. And if the same is not
by said deed conveyed to him, his heirs and assigns, I do
by these presents quit claim the same to him, his heirs
and assigns forever.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand aud seal

ance of an appointment for that purpose duly made, did
attend and hear the ^^roofs and allegations of the parties on

determine that so much of the said order and determina-

1797, the description and location of which road or high-
way, as so ascertained by them, is contained in the said
order, as also in the petitions or notices of appeal hereto
annexed.
And whereas Frederick Hallock and Edward Griffin of
the said village of Quogue, have within the limited time
therefor, respectively appealed from the said determination
and order of the said Commissioners, to the undersigned
County Judge of the said county of Suffolk, which aj)peal
is hereto annexed. Whereupon the said County Judge did
give due notice to the appellants, and the said Commission-
ers that he would hold a court for the hearing of said ap-
peal, at the house of John A. Post, in the said village of
Quogue, on the 19th day of August, 1856, at 9 o'clock in
the forenoon ; at which time and place, the said parties ap-
peared before him with their respective counsel ; and after
receiving the premises described in the said order and after
hearing the proofs and allegations of the said parties, the
said County Judge came to the following conclusion or de-
termination, viz :
That there is every reason to believe prima facia from
the survey the Commissioners have made of a short section
of the main post road, lying immediately east of the said
village of Quogue, extending in length a little over half-a-
mile, making seven angles therein, and the width of the
road varying at the respective angles from 12 rods wide to
5 rods wide ; that they have erred in the conclusion they
arrived at, viz : That this irregular and varying tract had
been used as a highway for 20 years previous to 1797, and
thus became a highway, and so it turned out in the evi-
dence and investigation had in the appeals. Quite a por-
tion of this road runs through the woods opposite the

premises of Frederick Hallock, one of the appellants. The
present track of the travelled road runs on the north edge
or margin of the highway as surveyed and described by the
commissioners, and it apjoeared by the evidence, that this
had been the travelled track from time immemorial, and
here the commissioners, by their survey make it 10 and 12
rods wide, embracing on the south side of this track a large
quantity of heavy pine timber, where there is no evidence
or indication of any old or former road or tracks, except
those going southerly down to the Neck, and where there
was an utter failure to produce any such evidence. And
further, to show conclusively, that the Commissioners were
wrong in the conclusion they came to and in the said order,
by running out the lines on each side of the said road or
highway as they have given them in the said order, the
north line or boundary of the said highway, necessarily
runs directly through the enclosed orchard, garden and
front door-yard of the said Edward Griffin, one of the ap-
pellants, and a part of his home lot, and the south line or
boundary also runs through the enclosed home lot of the
said Frederick Hallock, this the Commissioners acknowl-
edged on the hearing of the appeal ; but said they did not
know that their survey and order would have such an effect
and that they did not intend any such thing.
Still such is the fact, and so far as this is the case the
order of the commissioners must necessarily be reversed,
and upon a view of the whole matter from the evidence ad-
duced before me on the hearing of these appeals ; I am
constrained however, reluctantly to reverse the whole order
of the said commissioners ill regard to this highway. In
the mean time the County Judge does not feel himself
authorized by the act to alter or define this road himself as
he thinks the same ought to be altered or defined. All he

can do therefore, as it is certainly desirable that this at
present indefinite highway sliould be ascertained, described
and entered of record is to recommend to the Commission-
ers of Highways under the power and duty conferred upon
and required of them, in the 3rd sub-division of the 1st
section of the act regulating highways and bridges, in the
counties of Suffolk, (Queens and Kings to try again to as-
certain, describe and enter of record, the highway in ques-

the most, 6 rods in width, and to run the same as straight

highway by usage for 25 years, the appellant in this case
having shown a good and satisfactory title to the same, up
to about where he has recently run his fence adjoining the
said highway or lane on the east side thereof; and that the
legal and proper width of the said highway is and should
be, three rods from the said post-road, through to the
beach or banks. The said determination or order of the
said commissioners in this matter is hereby reversed.
In the mean time the undersigned would suggest and
recommend to the apjDellaut, to change or alter his new
fence commencing at the east side of the lane at a fence
running easterly to Ogden's pond, so as that the said new
fence shall run within, or east of the present foot-bridge
across the ditch or creek. This alteration should be made
for the accommodation of the public ; as it is impossible to
say with precision where the exact line or boundary of the
said highway or lane there should be.

Page 213. Before J. Lawrence Smith, County Judge of
Suffolk County, in the matter of the appeal of Edward Grif-
fin from an order of the Commissioners of Highways of the
Town of Southampton.
The Commissioners of Highways of the Town of South-
ampton, made an order on the 31st day of March, 1857, re-
citing that whereas a road leading from Great Creek to Lit-
tle Creek in said town, now used as a public highway, was
laid out on the lOtli day of December, 1757, but not suf-
ficiently described of record, and ordering that said road be
ascertained, described and entered of record, according to a
survey which had been made under their direction, and
they therein described the said road by courses and mon-
uments.
The road was not at the date of the order, of the width
called for by the record, it having been encroached upon by
tlie fences on either side, and as described by the Commis-
sioners, would if opened, run through a part of the enclos-
ure of Edward Griffin, and he appeals to the County Judge
from said order.
I visited the premis(is on the 20th of April last, and was
224 records: town of southamptoK.
attended by the appellant and the commissioners and by
their respective counsel, and heard the proof and allega-
tions.
A preliminary question was raised by the counsel of the
commissioners touching my jurisdiction in this matter, and
I took the proof subject to this objection. The County
Judge is an officer of limited jurisdiction, he possesses no
power except such as is conferred by statute. We must go
then to the statute to ascertain whether he has poAver to
hear and decide this appeal. The act relating to highw^ays
in Kings, Queens and Suffolk Counties passed Feb. 23d,
1830, defines the powers and duties of Commissioners of
Highwa3's. By reference to this statute we find their pow-
ers and duties to be various, and among them (S 1 3)
is the power to ascertain, describe and enter of record, such
highways as have been laid out and not sufficiently de-
scribed.
The Commissioners acted under this clause in making
the order appealed from, every decision of the commission-
ers is not the subject of appeal. Section G6 of the statute,
as amended (Laws 1857, p 422) provides " for appeals to
" the County Judge by any person who shall conceive liim-
" self aggrieved by any determination of the Commissioners
" of Highways in laying out, altering, or discontinuing, or
" in refusing to lay out, alter or discontinue any road, or in
" regulating, or refusing to regulate any public landing, or
•' watering place, or in determining, or refusing to determ-
" ine that any road hath become a public highway.
Here then, are clearly defined the cases over which the
County Judge has jurisdiction by aj^peal, and unless this
section embraces the case in question, the appeal and all
proceeding under it, are void.
Whether the Legislature intended to give an appeal in a
records: town of Southampton. 225
case like this, and unintentionally omitted to do so, may be
questionable. There are perhaps many reasons to lead us
to suppose that they did not. The question to be decided
does not embrace any legal principle. It is a simple ques-
tion of fact, as to where the road originally ran, a question
upon which the commissioners who are presumed to act
disinterestedly and who are familiar with the parties, the
witnesses and the locality, can decide more intelligently and
accurately than any judge or lawyer. But whatever may
have been the reason for the omission, it is sufficient for the
purpose of this case, that after a careful examination I am
fully persuaded it does not come within the provision of the
statute above cited, and having failed to find in the statute
any other provision giving me jurisdiction over it, I cannot
make any order in the premises.
It may be a satisfaction to the parties, and I may there-
fore perhaps be pardoned for volunteering to add that in
cases involving purely questions of fact, the unanimous de-
termination of the commissioners ought not to be disturbed
unless it is made to appear that they acted unintelligently,
or were aifected by interest or prejudice, or their determi-
nation is very strongly against the v>'eight of evidence. I
listened to the evidence in this case with much attention,
and although it was conflicting on the subject of the h)c;v~
tion of the old track, I failed to find in it anything which
satisfied me that the Commissioners erred in making the
order appealed from.

Whereas the act regulating highways and bridges in the
Counties of Suffolk, Queens and Kings, passed Feb. 23,
1830, makes the duty of the Commissioners of Highways
of the several towns in those counties to cause such road
used as highways, as shall have been laid out, but not suf-
ficiently described, and such as were used as highways for
twenty years preceding the 20th day of March, 1797, and
which shall have been used and worked as such constantly
for the last six j'ears but not recorded, to be ascertained,
descril)ed and entered of record in the Town Clerk's office.
And whereas the same act gives the said Commissioners
power to discontinue such old roads and highways as shall
appear to them on the oath of or affirmation of twelve free-
holders of the town, to have been unnecessary. And where-
as application has been made to the undersigned Commis-
sioners of Highways of the said town by twelve freeholders
of the town (which application or petition is verified by
oath) asking the said Commissioners to survey, define and
lay out, the road known as Sagg Street, extending from the
Co^^ntry Road to the house of Henry, and to discontinue all
that portion of the present, over five rods in width, as use-

Now, therefore, we the undersigned Commissioners, all
of tlie said Commissioners having been duly notified to at-

extending from the Country Iload to the house of Henry

m the matter of appeal of David Pierson, from an order of

The Commissioners of Highways of the Town of South-

of Sagg Street to five rods, and David Pierson having ap-
p<\'ilcd pursuant to the Statute, to the County Judge, from
so much of said order as directs the said road from the

main angle, nearly opposite Jeremiah Hedges, leading or
running southerly as far as the burying-ground, to be cut
down from its present width to five rods wide ; a copy of
which order and notice of apj)eal is hereto annexed. And
the County Judge having thereupon assigned a time and
place for hearing said appeal, and having caused a notice
thereof to be served pursuant to the Statute, and having
attended on the part of said road appealed from on this
fourth day of August, 1858,. at 7 o'clock in the afternoon,
the time and place so assigned and having been attended by
the said appellant, and to the road commissioners and their
counsel, and heard the proofs and allegations of the j)arties
and deliberated thereon, doth decide as follows :
The order simply reduces the road to 5 rods in width
without naming courses and distances, but the map pro-
duced b}' the Commissioners on the hearing, indicates the
lines established by them. The road as thus located, will
tend greatly to injure the appearance and mar the beauty of
the street. They have substituted crooked lines for lines
now apparently straight. There are now curves in the
street it is true, but owing to its great width they are not
perceptible.
When the road is reduced in width the angles will be-
come more prominent, and I am quite satisfied that should
the fences be erected on the lines proposed by the Commis-
sioners, the community would be dissatisfied with it. It is
plainly the duty of the Commissioners to make a highway
as nearly straight as possible when they can do so conven-
iently. The Commissioners in this case were actuated by
the very laudable desire to equalize as much as possible
among the adjoining owners, the surplus lands. But whilst
they should zealously guard the interest and respect the
wishes of individuals, they ought always to bear in mind
230 records: town of Southampton.
that iu sucli cases, those interest and wishes must give way
to the public good. I think it decidedly for the interest of
the public that the road should be located as indicated by
the appellant in his notice of appeal, and I therefore deem
it my duty to reverse so much of the order as is appealed
from.
It is therefore ordered that so much of the said order, as
directs the said road, from the main angle nearly opposite
Jeremiah Hedges, leading or running southerly as far as the
burying-ground, to be cut down from its present width to
five rods Avide, and the same is hereby reversed. August

RECORDS : 1:0 WN 01? SOtlTfiAMPTON. 230
j>AGE 224. Before the Couuty Judge of Suffolk Couuty.
In the matter of the appeal of David Pierson, from an
order of the Commissioners of Higlnvavs, of the town of
Southampton, redueinj:;- the width, and locatiii,n- the west
line of Sagg Street.
The Commissioners of Highways of the t(3wn of South-
ampton, having made an order (without date) posted April
0th, 1859, locating the east and west lines of Sagg Street,
southerly from the main angle opposite the house of Jere-
miah Hedges, and discontinuing all such portions of the
old road or highway, as are not included between the said
tAvo lines, and David Pierson having appealed from so
much of the determination of the Commissioners as directs
the closing up to five rods in width of that portion of the
original road known as Sagg Street, and embraced in liis
former appeal, lying between the main angle of said road,
nearly opposite Jeremiah Hedges, extending or running
southerly some 10 oi more rods to an angle made by them-
selves (in their survey) opposite Jeremiah Hedges' house,
and from this latter point starting and extending their lines
Southerly instead of starting them directly from the main
angle of the aforesaid original road, nearly opposite Jere-
miah Hedges, in conformity with liis former appeal, and
the decision of the ('Ounty Judge on tlie same, on the 4tli
day of August last, a copy of Avhich order and notice of ap-
peal is hereto annexed. And the County .Judge having
thereupon assigned tlx^ lltli day of Jul}', 1S59, at 2 o'clock
]'. M. on the said highway opposite the house of Jeremiah
Hedges, as the time and place of hearing said appeal, and
having caused notice thereof to be served on one of the
Commissioners of Highways of said town, jjursuant to the
statute.
And having attended at the time and plac^ so assigned,
240 RECOEDS: TOWN OF SOUTHAMPTON.
and been attended by said appellant and by all of said
commissioners and their counsel, and heard the proofs and
allegations of the parties, and having deliberated thereon,
doth decide and order as follows :
The whole difficulty in this case seems to have arisen
from a difference of opinion between the parties as to the
true construction of my former decision and order, made on
an appeal relative to this same road, and dated Aug. 4,
1858.
That decision reversed so much of the order of the com-
missioners (posted June 11th, 1858) as directs the said
road from the main angle nearly opposite Jeremiah Hedges
running southerly as far as the burying-ground, to be cut
down from its present width to five rods wide.
The question now between the parties is. What was the
main angle intended by that decision? The Commissioners
contend that it was an angle made by them in their survey
directly opposite Jeremiah Hedges' house, this angle ap-
pears very prominently on both of the maps filed with their
former order and with the order now appealed from.
The appellant contends that the main angle is directly
opposite the south end of Jeremiah Hedges' cow house. I
have taken testimony as to where the main angle was at the
time of the making of the former order of the Commission-
ers and this testimony, together with the location of the
premises and the shape of the several wagon tracks which
traverse the road in that vicinity, leave no doubt in my
mind, and I now decide that the main angle on the west
side of said highway as it v/as at the time of making the
first order, was about two feet southerly of, and very near
to the southerly end of Jeremiah O. Hedges' cow house.
And that the line running south 11 deg. 30 min. west in the
two surveys of the said commissioners should have termi-
records; town of Southampton. 241
nated at a locust post at the end of the board fence lately
erected by said Jeremiah Hedges, which post is on a line
drawn parallel to, and about two feet southerly of said cow
house. The objection raised to the former order was that
the lines and points adopted by the commissioners, ren-
dered the angles prominent, and made a crooked road of
one before apparently straight. The whole order was not
appealed from, and it was therefore in my power entirely
to obviate this objection, but my decision was intended to
obviate it as far as possible for me to do so. The construc-
tion put upon that decision by the commissioners, will pre-
vent it from affecting the purpose intended, and leave the
most objectionable feature of.the lines adopted by the com.
missioners even more prominent than before. I think they
erred in adopting the angle made by them as the main ang-
le, and starting their new lines from that point. I there-
fore, am compelled again to reverse the decision as to the
west line. The east line does not appear to be objected to
and is not appealed from, excej)t (perhaps) so much of it as
is embraced between the post above indicated, and the main
adopted by the Commissioners and as to that part, I see no
utility in, or necessity for disturbing it.
It is therefore ordered that so much of said order made
by the Commissioners of Highways of the Town of Sontli-
ampton. Recorded and posted April 6th, 1859, as detorm*
ines and directs that the west line of the road known as
Sagg Street, in the said town of Southampton, between the
angle opposite the house of Jeremiah O. Hedges, and the
angle opposite the north-west corner of the burying ground
Kliall be a line starting from the firbt mentioned point and
running south 30 deg. west, 18 chains, 50 links to the point
live rods west of the burying ground and as discontinues

all the portions of the Old road or liigliway west of said

1796, aud came to this towu in 1818, and acted for several
years as a teacher in the schools of this village ; in 1821 he
was married to Abbie, daughter of Thomas Sayre ; in 1825
he was elected to the office of Town Clerk, which office he
lield for a jieriod of twenty years ; in 1833 he was elected
Justice of the Peace and continued to serve in that capacity
and Supervisor for the remainder of his life. As a member
of the community he was held in the greatest respect by his
fellow citizens, and was faithful to the fullest extent in the
performance of the duties of the offices intrusted to his
charge ; as a friend and neighbor he was affable and kind ;
pleasant and open in manners and wholly without the lofty
reserve and mock dignity which generally accompanies real
inferiority. And this notice is entered by one who having
been treated by him with kindness has reason to revere his
memory, and no better proof of his excellence and capacity
need be produced than the fact that for a period of forty
years he enjoyed the complete confidence of the people of
the town of Southampton.
