to bring up the record Of stown-way in Wells
alleged to be defective, in that the return
Of the location of the way by the Select
men was not fled In the Town Clerks Office be-
fore the meeting was called which acted upon 1t.
This defect was admitted by defendants, who
asserted that, as substantial justice had been
done, this departure from the statute should be
overlooked; but the Judge held that the error
was one Of substance; that the County Com
missioners had no Jurisdiction In the premises,
and that the writ should issue. Thereupon the
record was adjudgcd defective and proceedings
In laying out the way were quashed.
Motions were then heard, exceptions and re-
ports made up, and the business OF the term
closed up, At 8 p. NJ. Court adjourned sine dc.
The term has been quite busy one, although
