precedent to establish, TO pay the entire
cost of any bridge.
j. Shrake stated that it was a very
expensive road, insomuch as it was hard
to keep in repair; by granting the pc
tition one inhabitant of Wyalusng

many others would also receive q benefit
thereby, indirectly. He further stated

be carefully considered.
