Bound or Boundary

Loading


BOUND or BOUNDARY, that which serves to indicate the limit or extent of land. In law, the exact boundary of land is always a matter of evidence; where no evidence is available, the court acts on presumption which may be rebutted. For example, the boundary of land on opposite sides of a road, whether public or private, is presumed to be the middle line of the road. Where two fields are separated by a hedge and ditch the boundary line will run on the field or outside edge of the ditch. As to parish boundaries, see PARISH.
