Parker J said: ‘Dedication . . may be established by proof of definite acts of dedication on the part of the owner, or it may be inferred from use and enjoyment on the part of the public; but such use and enjoyment must be use and enjoyment as of right known to the owner and acquiesced in by him.
Further, this knowledge and recognition on the part of the owner may itself be inferred from the fact that the use and enjoyment has been so open and notorious as of right as to give rise to the presumption that the owner must have been aware of it and has acquiesced in it . . ‘
