Pennsylvania v. John Oliphant and Andrew Oliphant.
    INDICTMENT for a nuisance in obstructing a water-course, so as to overflow an high way.
    The obstruction was a dam for a forge. It did not appear, that the road had ever been laid out by any authority.
    
      Young, for the defendants,
    objected to going into any evidence, until a copy of the order of the court of Quarter Sessions, confirming the road, should be produced.
    Galbraith, for the state,
    gave up the prosecution, and assented to a verdict of acquittal.
