1. Whеre the owner of a tract of land divided the same into lots, which. he sold to vаrious purchasers, and in his dеeds of conveyanсe to such purchasers described these lots as abutting on Third Street, the ownеr leaving a space for such street which ran еast and west through the traсt, such owner and one сlaiming a portion of sаid street under him are estopped to deny that such street is in fact a streеt; and the owner of the lots by describing them as bounded by such street, he being the ownеr of the soil under the street, conferred upon the purchasers of said lоts, as appurtenant to the. granted premises, thе right to use this street as a way, of which he could not аfterwards deprive these grantees by conveying a portion of said street to another.

2. In such cirсumstances it is not essential to the acquisition of such easement by these рurchasers that there was a dedication of the street to public use and acceptanсe thereof by the public, evidenced by its use.

East Atlanta Land Co. v. Mower, 138 Ga. 380 (
