The space between the homes was occupied by D as an alley leading to buildings in the rear of his lot. Twenty-four years later, D erected a store in the alley filling up the space between the two houses. P owned the lot from Stebbins and P sued for stopping of the lights. D moved for nonsuit and insisted that there was no evidence of a user authorizing the presumption of a grant as to the windows. The trial judge ruled in favor of P.
