View

Inspection; a prospect. Every one is entitled to a view from his premises; but he thereby acquires no right over the property of his neighbors. "The erection of buildings which obstruct a man's view, therefore, is not unlawful, and such buildings cannot be considered a nuisance. 9 Coke, 58b. See "Ancient Lights;" "Nuisance." In Practice. In most real and mixed actions, in order to ascertain the identity of land claimed with that in the tenant's possession, the tenant is allowed, after the demandant has counted, to demand a view of the land in question, or, if the subject of claim be rent, or the like, a view of the land out of which it issues. Viner, Abr.; Comyn, Dig.; Booth, 37; 2 Saund. 45b; 1 Reeve, Hist. Eng. Law, 435. The term is also sometimes applied to the practice of sending the jury, in the custody of an officer, to the scene of the transaction involved in the action, that they may be the better able to understand the evidence. It may also be ordered in a criminal trial to instruct the jury in respect to the place.

One which is brought by a person not bound by a decree, praying that the same may be examined and reversed; as where a decree is made against a person who has no interest at all in the matter in dispute, or had not an interest sufficient to render the decree against him binding upon some person claiming after him. Relief may be obtained against error in the decree by a bill in the nature of a bill of review. This bill in its frame resembles a bill of review except that, instead of praying that the former decree may be reviewed and reversed, it prays that the cause may be heard with respect to the new matter made the subject of the supplemental bill, at the same time that it is reheard upon the original bill, and that the plaintiff may have such relief as the nature of the case made by the supplemental bill may require; 1 Harrison, Ch. Pr. 145. BILL IN NATURE OF A BILL OF RE-

The right of prospect; the outlook or prospect from the windows of one's hoflse. A species of urban servitude which prohibits the obstruction of such prospect. 3 Kent, Comm. 448. We understand by view every opening which may more or less facilitate the means of looking out of a building. Lights are those openings which are made rather for the admission of light than to look out of. Civ. Code La. art. 715. Also an inspection of property in controversy, or of a place where a orime has been committed, by the jury previously to the trial. See Garbarsky v. Simkim 36 Mlac. Rep. 195, 7B N. Y. Supp. 199; Wakefield v. Railroad Co., 63 Me. 385; Lancaster County v. Holyoke, 37 Neb. 328, 55 N. W. 950, 21 L. In A. 394.

— View and delivery. When a right of common is exercisable not over the whole waste, but only in convenient places indicated from time to time by the lord of the manor or his bailiff, it is said to be exercisable after "view and delivery." Elton, Commons, 233.

— View, demand of. In real actions, the defendant was entitled to demand a view, that is, a sight of the thing, in order to ascertain its identity and other circumstances. As, if a real action were brought against a tenant, and such tenant did not exactly know what land it was that the demandant asked, then he might pray the view, which was that he might see the land which the demandaht claimed. Brown.

— View of an inquest. A view or inspection taken by a jury, summoned upon an inquisition or inquest, or the place or property to which the inquisition or inquiry refers. Brown.

— View of frankpledge. In English law. An examination to see if eveiy freeman above twelve years of age within the district had taken the oath of allegiance. and found nine freeman pledges for his peaceable demeanor. 1 Reeve, Eng. Law, 7.

Inspection; examination. 1. View of frankpledge: the office of a sheriff in seeing all the frankpledges of a hundred, and that all youths above fourteen belonged to some tithing; a function of the Court-leet. 2. The Court-leet. Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt: laws aid the waking, not the sleeping.

u. A legal examination by the eye, or inspection of any subjectmatter in question. View, v.: to inspect. Viewer: a person appointed to make and report upon ocular examination; particularly of a highway route. Thus, in real actions, a jury of view was allowed, to inspect the premises in dispute; on a petition to open a highway, viewers are appointed, to inspect the line of road applied for, and report on its advantage and practicability; a coroner's inquest on a person found dead is expected to view the body; on various trials, where to see the spot where a crime is alleged to have been committed, or an occurrence drawn in question took place, is important to enable the juiy to understand the testimony regarding it, they may be sent out to view it. And there are other like uses of the word. View, in a statute directing the sheriff's jury to " view the premises," means more than " look at." They are to examine the land both from within and without the location of the railroad. Wakefield v. Boston, &c. K. R. Co., 63 Me. 385.
