Right of search. The right of a public vessel to examine and inspect the papers of a neutral vessel; of a suspected slaver, &c.; on the high seas, and the goods on board. Right of viray. A right enjoyed by a person or corporation of passing over land the fee of which is vested in another party. This right may be subject to such conditions and restrictions as are specified in the grant, or sanctioned by the custom, by virtue of which the right exists. Rights of way are susceptible of almost infinite variety: they may be limited both as to the intervals at which they may be used (as a way to church), and as to the actual extent of the user authorized (as a footway, horseway, or carriage-way). See Waslib. Easem.; Gale Easem. A grant of right of way, made to a railroad company, should be understood as embracing the hind only used as a way for the road, and not such additional ground as may be used for the convenience of the railroad, but not a part of its way.

Chicago, B. & Q. R. R. Co. V. Paddock, 75 7tt.616.

A man cannot have a right of way over his own land. A way, in law, is the right of going over another man's ground.
