certain number of persons Minas elected by the ra•_e payers

poor law guardians the board for the whole of the
roads through the union. The whole of the expense is to be
taken out of the meaty rate, except when the county board
may please to erect a gate, which they have the power to do
on all first-alum roads, such roads not being confined to those
that have been turnpike roads, such as a read leading, for
lastauce, to a great railway station; but it is not compulsory
to have a gate at all.
