Thomas Purdie had been in the use of bringing home his corns after harvest through a ridge of ground belonging to Steil and his authors, after their corns on the said ridge were cut down, and that for the space of 40 years.
This, however, was found not to establish a servitude. In the case of town acres, every one, after the corns are cut down, leads his corn through his neighbour's ground, which, though done for 100 years, will not infer a servitude.
