153 A. 168 | Conn. | 1931
The plaintiff purchased from the defendant Mather a lot one hundred feet front by two hundred feet deep lying in the southwest corner of a considerable farm owned by him and bounded on the north and east by other land forming a part of the farm. The deed contained this provision: "The grantor herein reserves the right to pass and repass over the rear of the northerly 30 feet in width of the herein conveyed premises for a depth of about 70 feet for a term of 20 years from the date hereof." There was then in existence a driveway over a portion of the land described in this provision, but it evidently was *595
not co-extensive with the right of way created in the deed. That right is, therefore, in the absence of a showing of a sufficient contrary intent, to be treated as a reservation and not an exception. Bryan v. Bradley,
