Second-Street Road Continued.
    Mandamus not to issue to the county commissioners, to pay for the valuation of ground taken up by a road, under an order of the sessions.
    Mr. Lewis moved for a rule to shew cause, why a mandamus should not issue to the commissioners of Philadelphia county, to pay the monies awarded to according to the valuation made of his ground taken up by a road continuing second-street, in the city .of Philadelphia.
   Per cur.

This road has been laid out in pursuance of an order of sessions of Philadelphia county, and the valuation has been made in pursuance of their order. The contempt is to that court not to us. They will certainly vindicate their own honour, and carry their own orders into execution, and to them we must remit the application.

Mr. Sergeant then informed the court, that the same mode of practice had been pursued in other instances, on applications of a similar nature made to this court.
