Dispute regarding the ownership of estate roads on an estate which was developed and sold-off in the 1920s. The estate company sought first registration of title, relying on historical dispositions from the original owner. The proprietors of one plot disputed the claim, asserting that the original 1926 conveyance of the plot had included ownership of the road fronting the plot to its mid-point. Whether and, if so, to what extent the land was so conveyed. Original conveyance not available. Consideration of limited secondary material. HELD that the estate road was not comprised in the 1926 conveyance. The case turned on its own facts.
