_Corpse passing makes a Right of Way_ (Vol. iii., pp. 477. 507.

519.).--Some time ago, I buried in our churchyard a person from an

adjoining parish; but, instead of taking a pathway which led directly

from the house of the deceased to the church, they kept to the

high-road,--so going four miles instead of one. When I asked the

reason, I was told that the pathway was not a _lich-road_, and therefore

it was not lawful to bring a corpse along it.
