as it ever has been to the proprietor; and it was with reference to its present capability that he purchased the estate. Every right of way is a public easement, 'which must have been acquired with the consent of 'the owner of the soil; [more correctly, which was re'served and retained to the public use when the rest of the land, at first altogether common, was allowed 'to be appropriated to separate proprietorship.] In almost every instance the closing a public way for the benefit of the proprietor is an absolute gift, without 'consideration, to an individual, out of the possessions of 'the public. There has of late years been a systematic course of attempts by owners of land or their agents 'to close public footpaths. Formerly this could not be done. The periodical inquiries that took place kept 'every man's attention alive to such attempts, and gave a ready and certain remedy against them. The attempts that now take place are made because no such wholesome check exists, but they are not less made in defiance of law and right. They are made because it is · thought that no individual man will run the risks of a contest on the question. It is the duty of the highway surveyors, on behalf of the community they act 'for, to watch these things, and to resist every attempt 'to close or divert any footpath. The public fieldpaths 'of England are the most valuable possession of the poor of England. They constitute no less one of the 'great charms of the country to every man of taste and 'feeling. But to the poor man they are the chief means of health, and the great helps in what is to him income, namely, time and distance. They are as much his 'birthright and inheritance and property as the acres 'they lie over are those of the proprietors whose agents 'seek to improve' that property by depriving others of their rights and property. It is as much a fraud and a robbery and a crime against society and the 'state to stop up a public footpath, over which the 'poor man is accustomed to pass, as it is to stop the rich man on the highway and demand his money or his life." (Pp. 315–317).
